It,s been a day of first,s today Angela managed to get some kangaroo cuddles with our wee girl Gracyn.With out the tubes down her throat we heard her voice for the first time.Ever so quiet content and quiet cries. It was good for Ang to get a cuddle, something i,m sure she has been hanging out to do.It was hard to fight back the tears for this somewhat little but very important part of this journey. My turn next. What a great day.
i have also found out that it is a CPAP system not a CPACK as i have been saying in previous posts,CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure another first geting the technical stuff right for a change. I am sure the nurses have told us all this but it was all just blah blah blah at the begining.
Gracyn has been on the cpap for over 48 hrs now and doing really well, she has lost a little weight (just when i thought the "Appeltons" was in sight) due to the fact that this cpap system is like a workout to her and getting everything working on her own burns calories. But thats good she may go back on the respirator depending on how tired she gets. Its day 18 and full steam ahead at the moment. 890grams and now scoffing 6 mls of boobi juice every 2 hours what a wee piggy.
i have put up some photos of Ang haveing a cuddle and some latest shots.
more tomorrow
