A mixed bag of a day today. Stanley was being rather good, now off CPAP for 4 days, and not even on nasal prongs for the majority of the time. He also had a very good go at breastfeeding, and is looking more and more alert when he's awake.
In the cot next door, Willow was not being as good. She had another bagging incident this morning, which is becoming more difficult to watch every time it happens. I had to turn away this time, just worrying that one day she just won't come out of it. The docs aren't totally sure why she keeps doing it, but think it's probably just because she's so tired. So she'll be back on CPAP for 6 hours twice a day again, to give her lungs a bit of a rest.
We're starting to think about what our Christmas Day and New Year celebrations are going to be like this year, in the confines of the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit. It certainly won't be a festive period we're going to forget anyway, and will ensure that every year from now, we'll appreciate just being at home with our little family. But, at least we know that the BP garage is open continuously, so getting hold of coffee or a £3.29 Meal Deal is certainly not going to be a problem.
