Another long day for the parents, another good day for the children.
Willow and Stanley are really turning into proper little babies now; full of wind and screams. It's dawning on us what a handful these two are going to be when we all get home. I can now appreciate what an amazing job mothers do with just one baby, let alone two of them.
The midnight phonecall to NICU was yet another positive one. These calls are getting very short lately; no longer do I need to ask what their ventilation settings are, what extreme amount of oxygen they're on, when's their next blood transfusion, how many times did they need resuscitating tonight. It's quite amazing how quickly you almost forget just how bad it was just a few weeks ago. But it does make any step back at this stage seem even worse.
Anyway, we did have a step back today - but not in that sense. Since we left the building this evening, the babies have finally moved from their original spot to the back row. This means we're officially no longer in the 'intensive care' section; now merely 'high dependency'. It may even turn out that we bypass the nursery and go home from this position, as they are at capacity at the moment. We'll see what happens.
