I,m getting the hang of this blogg thing, colour, pictures, i,m working on a programe to make Gracyn wave to you all when you logg in. Yeah Right!!.

Gracyn lasted 17 hrs on the c-pack machine then had to be resorted back to the Ventilator system. This may happen as many as six or seven times until she is strong enough to do it by herself. This is just one of those up,s and down rides we are going to get over the next few months. Her skin is breaking up a little bit but they have a process to deal with it, they seem to have a process to deal with anythng that these prem babies throw at them. She has increased her food to 2 mls every 2 hours and tollerating that well so that is a good sign.
Angela went in today and spent a few hours doing her cares, this wee mite is a robust little girl, she does not like being handled and screws her face up like a half chewed minty when getting her face washed its amazing to see the expressions on her face when this is being done.
I hav,nt been in to see Gracyn for a day but i,m sure i,ll notice the difference in her when i do get in there tomorrow nite. She has graduated in her room at the Neo Natal unit and is no longer the smallest in the class another first for my wee girl. There is no change in her lung condition today but saying that they have not scanned her either. I will know more tomorrow.

Till next post
