I was worrying about the morning call on Wednesday after leaving Stanley with his bradycardia attacks still being quite regular. But – I spoke to the nurse and got a very good report. Since midnight he’d all but stopped being naughty, and was much more stable. Also, the nurse who was looking after Willow, was very pleased with her progress too. He even said there was a possibility of her coming off the ventilator today as well, but not to be disappointed if she was still on it when we came in.
We came into the hospital as normal after lunch, and saw Willow's nurse in the corridor. He said he thought we’d be pleased when we went in. So in we went and Willow was off the ventilator! We couldn’t believe it – and with Stanley doing so much better today as well. We were extremely pleased – almost happy. The trouble is, you don’t want to let yourself be too happy because you never know what is around the corner. This was one of the ‘up’ bits of the rollercoaster.
We went to get a coffee from BP and saw SCAT in there for some taxi talk.
Thursday was another good day, both children very stable. Stanley even got a cake today, for passing the 1 kilo landmark. Although he’d obviously been heavier than that when he’d been born, this was a lovely gesture from one of the nurses, who bakes a cake each time babies hit the 1,000g mark.
So, another good day. We’re trying to enjoy these moments without getting all complacent about it. It may yet all go wrong, but Willow and Stanley’s chances are getting better.
