Macy day 6:
It’s hard to believe the little girl is coming up to a week old time flies when you’ve got a mini cheddar to look after.The nurses thought we should get her a yellow baby grow then she’d look like a slice of cheddar!
You may notice in one of the photo’s that I popped her namesake into the cot…I had to gel and wash it first!!
So Macy is still in intensive care but on the verge of coming out to either the special unit or transition ward, these are slightly lower versions of intensive care.
She is up to feeding her full quota of milk for her age and weight but not without some tube feeding as she’s still very sleepy, maybe in part from brain drugs which are still working there way out of her system.She’s taking some milk from a cup which is hilarious, babies have ability to lap for first few weeks so she laps out of cup like a kitten, we can’t help laughing and she does seem to pull a grumpy face at us. The main criteria for getting out of intensive care is she feeds without nose tube and then she could go onto a ward with Jen if they can find a space.
So she’s really doing well.
We have the MRI scan coming up on Thursday which may give the consultants an idea of why she had seizures. If there was a big problem we’d probably know the gist of it Thursday, if know apparent problem then we’ll get full report from neurologist a week Thursday.
If she starts to feed fully with Jen and she puts on body weight then she’d be allowed to come home.
So we just keep taking one day at a time and thank God for her recovery and keep praying she’ll be completely well.
Jen is doing incredibly well considering. It’s very hard being in separate places to the babe practically, it takes a lot more effort and time and it means she sometimes only gets 3 hours of disturbed sleep a night. I reckon in 5 days she’s had about 15 hours max all disturbed…incredible how she’s still happy and coping.
I’m loving the whole baby thing get great delight out of changing her clothes and nappies and reading books and stuff, I love it.
OK that’s it for now, hopefully this text is on the blog now and not email, I’ll keep updating the blog every two days with new text and photo’s, leave it to you if you want to check it…don’t want to be a daddy bore!!
We hugely appreciate your ongoing prayers, if you decide to fast any meat meals then don’t let it go to waste…I’ll be round in a jiffy to hoover it up!!!!
