Yesterday my daughter and daughter-in-law were busy grumbling about how slow their first house purchase is taking and wishing it would speed up as they signed their contract 5 weeks ago.

Today my sweet DiL, who’s carry DD baby went into spontaneous labour and after waters broke and baby was upside down with umbilical cord separating, she had an emergency C section and then at 13:00 baby Henry was born at 24.9 weeks, weighing 1lb 6oz.

We are all hoping for a good outcome in the end, please pray to whatever God or spiritual being or keep your fingers crossed that baby Henry comes through this.

DD and DiL in shock and baby about to be transferred to a Neonatal Unit in a hospital nearly 40 miles away. This is their first baby and first try at IVF. He’s so tiny (I couldn’t see him but DD sent photos) 😢

Such good news. Henry's heart is healing naturally so no operation.

Yo! Ho! Ever onwards and upwards.

My youngest GS - well he is 22 now was born with 2 holes and 6 weeks prem.

One has completely closed and the other apparently shows bubbles escaping - he has lived a perfectly healthy existence. The doctors told my DD that he my well have frequent chest infections etc, but not a bit if it. In fact has been a bit of a rascal, but an endearing character.

Well done Henry.

That's brilliant news!!! smile
It must be awful seeing the poor little lad being "pulled around', even though it's necessary.

Fantastic that tomorrow will be procedure free.
He's a little star.

Nana8 little Henry has had three blood transfusions to date 🩵

Great News

After a heart scan late yesterday, doctors have decided the PDA is closing on its own and no procedure will be done tomorrow.

His skin is now much the same colour of a full term baby and he now weights 2lb & 3oz.

Cannot wait to see him again on Saturday.

Enjoy your day and thank you for all your best wishes and inspiring stories and memories 🩵

I shall keep Henry and his doting family in my thoughts as his operation looms.
It is such a tense time for you all.
An army of Grans will be with you all.

I remember our little prem after she had had a blood transfusion ( first of many) - she just became so much more active, moving all the time. I reckon young Henry will be the same after his heart op. She also had the problem with her heart but everything is good now. 🤞 💐
