Sunday 30th January

The man-flu was still lingering today. I didn't want to just stand around looking at my children without being able to hold them, so made myself useful and went back home to carry on with household alterations using my new 'Dad DIY' skills. The latest piece of architrave went up in a flash; I'm getting used to this now.

Back in the hospital, Leela was splitting her time between the Intensive and Special Care areas, ensuring both Willow and Stanley were kept fed and entertained. Willow was better again today; her CRP (C-reactive protein; rises when there is an infection on board) had come down from 79 to 39. So she seems to be fighting the infection nicely and quite quickly, but will stay where she is for a few days until finishing the 5 day course of antibiotics.

Stanley is getting on very well in the nursery, screaming the house down if his food is 30 seconds late. His feeding is still going well since the formula change; so he really is on the home straight now. We're still not going to speculate about when homecoming might actually be, but it could potentially be before Christmas. 2013. That would be nice.
