MILK!! We've had some really positive news today, the surgeons are much happier with Olivia's aspirate levels and the colour of the fluid that is coming out of her stomach...and have decided she can try some milk in the morning. Let's hope that the levels stay low tonight and that she keeps the milk down after the feed.
It's very likely that she'll start to cry more over the next few days as she realises that she is very hungry for milk but the levels she'll be allowed will be tiny. Still no dirty nappy but the doctors think this could be because there is little to come out at the moment.
I played squash after work which was a great release but then felt guilty for getting in to hospital later than normal. I had a lovely cuddle when I did arrive swiftly followed by a few screams!
There was a newborn that arrived in the ward over the weekend she's got transverse arteries in her heart. As I arrived she was put an a special travel incubator ready for her short journey to the Bristol Royal Infirmary for her open heart surgery. If all goes well she'll be home with in a week.....these babies are pretty tough!
