We arrived at the hospital expecting another day like the previous with lots of cuddles and more progress. Instead we had a very long tough upsetting day. She was very agitated and wouldn't stop crying, the amount of bile had increased and was a horrible red and brown colour. Lisa was tearful and everyone was concerned.
Olivia was clearly very hungry, she was sucking her dummy inside out and just wanted some milk but the doctors insisted that no food would be allowed for a good few more days.

Around mid afternoon the doctors came round and decided that an X-ray and blood tests were needed to see what was going on. It was also decided that antibiotics were needed to stave off any infection that might be taking hold. We anxiously waited for the surgeon to come ad talk to us about the X-ray results, she eventually arrived at about 7pm and said that it all looked ok but there might be a blockage in the intestine and that was why so much gunge was coming out of her nose. If it continued then another operation might be needed to open her up again and try to find the blockage....
We left the hospital very upset and down, we knew there would be tough days and this was certainly one of those. 2 steps forward and 1 back.
