After yesterday's day of ups and downs, the midnight report brought with it another down. Willow needing bagging again at about 10 o'clock, so they put her back on CPAP a couple of hours early. That was the third such incident she'd had in 24 hours, and it's just getting us down a bit at the moment.
This morning, the reports were slightly better - there had at least been no further bagging overnight. But another potential problem had cropped up, in that Willow is sometimes now having very low blood sugar levels. This could be a number of things - but most probably an ongoing effect from the steroids. Hopefully nothing more sinister than that anyway.
Throughout the day, things were getting better, and we left NICU feeling more positive than when we arrived. Stanley is now at a level where, if he were on his own, he'd have graduated to the nursery. However, as long as there are no more needy babies arriving, they'll keep Willow and Stanley together, which is nice. They might even get the double cot if they're lucky.
