We were still riding on the crest of yesterday’s positive waves today. Although Willow had not made much progress, she was doing everything the doctors expected and she looked very stable. She was still on large amounts of morphine and paralysis agents, so she didn’t have much choice.
The plan was to start weaning her off the drugs slowly and wake her up; by the time we left she was already beginning to wiggle her hands. She has a very feisty spirit and we are so proud of her. I’m feeling quite positive now that she’ll get through this okay.
Back in Poole, there was some real progress being made. Overnight, I had spoken to a nurse who said that Stanley had breathed on his own without the CPAP mask for a few minutes. This was exciting stuff! When we got in we were told that it was actually 45 minutes that he was de-masked for, and she was going to try him for an hour today.
So we had a proper cuddle with one of our babies, able to see his whole face. This really was like having a normal baby, and one of the best moments of the last five weeks.
We just wanted to bring Willow back and give her a cuddle too.
