Day 122 started pretty well, but soon turned out to be completely rubbish.
The focus at the moment is all on Stanley's feeding. After another change of tactic, his night-time feeds were fantastic, even rivalling those of his sister. But this morning, it all went wrong. Again.
He had another choking episode, turned a frightening purple colour and needed resuscitating. We were completely gutted. This is going to add at least another couple of weeks to our stay here - there is no way he's coming home if there's any chance of this happening.
So right now, we're exhausted from a weekend of non-sleep, and really fed up with everything. 17 and a half weeks would be too long to spend in your favourite holiday resort, let alone in a hospital. We could totally handle the non-sleep, and are not fazed in any way with the thought of having two babies to look after. It's just we really don't want to have to use any skills learned at resuscitation training if we can at all help it.
So, it's a big day tomorrow. We're not sure what the best outcome of Stanley's test would be - but to find nothing sinister would be nice. Hopefully it really is just something 'he'll grow out of' - we could handle that for this one. Just so long as it doesn't take months; I think the BP garage might run out of coffee loyalty cards soon....
