Another positive morning call today, meaning Willow has not had a bagging incident for five and a half days. She's also been off CPAP now for over a week, so things are looking up on that side of the cot.
Stanley is still going strong; his only issue right now is that he still de-sats while feeding. This is pretty much the only thing stopping him going home. The word 'discharge' was even being bandied about in NICU today; he might be released sooner than we think. It's all very exciting; but really sad at the same time because it's looking increasingly likely that Willow will have to stay behind on her own. It's up to us whether Stanley stays with his sister for longer than he needs to, but it will be in his best interests to bring him home - away from possible infection and to give him the best chance of developing in a normal environment.
It was all change in NICU today - we've moved around the back in the corner, away from positions 1 and 2 which we'd occupied for 102 days. There's a new baby in our daughter's former location. Of all the names in the world this new baby girl could have, she's called Willow too. Let's hope she has an easier ride than our Willow has had.
Back at home, the babies' parents are going strong with their annual diet. After two days, and after watching 'Britain's Fattest Man', we're feeling positively slender. Time for a curry, I think.
