I can smell the Appeltons rum from here, our wee girl is 960grms and taking on board 11mls of the good boobi juice every 2 hours. She is still doing well in the c-pap with only24-26% oxygen to help her, which is great. She still sometimes forgets to breath so a quick pat on the back remind,s herto do so, the machine that she is hooked up to tells the nurses when this happens.This is few and far between now which is another good sign.
There is no sign of infection anymore and her skin is looking really good,she is nolonger a bright pink more a proper skin colour. i put this down to the top quality bobbi juice that Angela produces. Once Gracyn is upto 13mls of breast milk they will remove the long line that feeds her the supplements, this is no longer needed as she recieves all the goodness from Angelas milk.The pressure is now on Ang to produce the good stuff for Gracyn.With the help form new breast pump that i got off the good old trade me which was the same price as a small jap car but we need it and thats all there is to it. She is pumping 3-4 times a day, as you ladies will know this is tiring stuff and Ang is getting a bit tired on it so even the drive into town, txting or even talking on the phone can be exhausting(i,m waiting for the call from telstraclear wondering if our phone is broke due to lack of use). I,m sure she will cope as she,s a battler our Ang just like her Daughter.
Good news is I,M GETTING A CUDDLE TOMORROW ! so i,m looking forward to that.
I,ll fill you all in tomorrow and post some more pic,s of me an my girl,s
