I didn’t have a chance to update yesterday.
It was a busy day.
It was a GOOD day!
The previous night was restless and emotional for me. Tim was unable to keep his tube feeds down. I was consumed with mummy-guilt, questioning how I could possibly have avoided this unexpected, unwanted introduction to life in the big, wide world for him.
I woke in the morning, exhausted with puffy eyes from a night of crying, to the news that he still wasn’t tolerating tube feeds.
I wasn’t feeling optimistic about the day ahead.
Then throughout the day, all this happened…
Tim’s oxygen supply was removed. He was breathing all by himself!
I got to hold Tim for the first time since he was born! (Excuse the pale, sobbing face!)
Tim was doing well enough to be moved from his incubator to a cot!
And by the end of the day he had successfully bottle fed twice for the first time since birth… and kept it all down!
Fab news well done little man and yay for getting cuddles xxx
Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy. Glad to hear that things are looking up!
I am so pleased and thrilled for you! I bet it was amazing holding Timmy for the first time! He is such an amazing little boy! I am sure he will be home with you really soon! xxx
