1 month old today!
That month has gone surprisingly quickly, but has undoubtedly been the most emotionally draining month of my life. Spoke to the nurse for this morning’s report. Both have had reasonably stable nights, and we were pleased to hear Stanley is still not back on the ventilator.
Ooops – forgot to mention for yesterday – Willow’s PDA. The doc spoke to us about Willow’s condition, and that it was quite likely she would be having the operation to close the duct in her heart. Although they are not sure that this is the root of all her problems, it is certainly there and at least it would rule out that issue for good. We are not entirely shocked she might need the op, but it’s not going to be nice seeing her go off to Southampton and them being separated like that. But, not a lot we can do about it, and if it needs doing, it needs doing.
Today in NICU wasn’t particularly pleasant – but again for no particular reason. The room was very busy again today – lots of babies making lots of noises. I’d much rather ours were the only babies in there sometimes.
I couldn’t wait to get out of there really – which I feel bad about because I want to be with Willow and Stanley. But it’s no good for anyone if we’re losing the plot and need a break.
So, we’re on a bit of a lull at the moment, near the bottom of the rollercoaster.
