What a difference a day makes 😢😢

Thanks for the update, Cossy.

I'm glad Henry is showing positive signs and obviously has a mind of his own 😀

The very premmie baby in our family became a Mum herself not long ago. The baby was born a little early, not as small as she was as she was just 2lbs. He was lower than average birth weight but doing well now.

My girl was premature by three months, and weighed 2lbs 9oz.

I've been hesitant to say, as well, you know (maybe)
Onwards amd upwards for the little lad.

Another one here eagerly awaiting your evening updates.
Thrilled that all is going well thus far.
Love and prayers to you all.

I do know and I thank you 💕

Thank you for the update, Cossy. Your little grandson is in the safest hands at GOSH. They are taking very good care of him.
Take care of yourself and his mummies.

My nephew was premature ( I don’t remember the week) but he weighed 2lb and his head was the size of a tennis ball.

He got a first class degree and has worked for the homeless since.
He is now expecting his first child (not official yet, but DS couldn’t wait to tell me)

Meant to say ever onwards. Best wishes to the mums.

Such good news Cossy. Baby Henry is in the best possible place, and surrounded by love and prayers 🙏

Have just read your update, Cossy and am sending very positive thoughts to you and the mums for baby Henry.

Thank you for continuing to update us. He sounds impressively feisty. Our son was the same, kept trying to pull his tubes out. (To this day, he still knows his own mind!) My prayers go out to all of you.

Henry is having the best care and his mums are surrounded with support and love.

I continue to keep you all in my thoughts and, Cossy, please continue to update us.

Morning lovely people

I hope you all have the best week possible.

Update on Baby Henry

Today, hopefully, is the day that DH finally meets his new grandson. We are travelling up this evening.

Henry didn’t have the best night, the bleeds on his brain are worsening, but GOSH are all over it and it’s pretty normal for a baby this premature, but it does mean the likelihood of serious difficulties and disabilities will rapidly increase.

The girls are completely prepared for this, they just want their baby to survive.

Long journey ahead, but I’m blown away by our girls courage and resilience and the care this dear sweet baby is getting from GOSH.

Thanks so much again, for your support and kind, compassionate wishes.

Thanks for the update Cossy and so good that little Henry is hanging in there and is receiving good care. Hope the girls are managing the stress and my thoughts are with you all.

Thank you Cossy. Your DD and DIL sound like very strong and sensible girls, who are now very special Mummies. And Henry has certainly proved himself to be a real little fighter. I hope he and Grandad enjoy each other.

Thoughts with you all.

Thanks for the update Cossy. The team are well prepared for the problems that may arise.
The mummies are doing so well and are giving Henry the strength to fight.
He has a lot of love around him.

Update appreciated Cossy. I am sure I am not alone in wishing you all, the best of all possible outcomes. Stay strong.

Cossy, again thoughts and love to you all. Hang on in there and much love to the family.

Thanks for the update Cossy
Love to Henry and his mummies and you too. He’s in a good place to deal with all these problems. Stay strong.

Thanks for the update, cossy. Everything crossed for brave little Henry and his mummies and you of course.
🙏

Thank you for the update, Cossy.

Bet your DH can't wait to see his feisty little grandson.
Keeping all of you and the wonderful neonatal staff in my prayers. 🙏💕

Sending best wishes for courage and strength, difficult times, but you're all supporting each other beautifully.
Little, brave Henry, tiny tot, keep on keeping on.

Sincerest good wishes for Henry and all your family.
You are all so brave.

Prayers 🙏 for Henry and his family.

What a special moment it will be when grandad and grandson meet for the first time. How lovely for you all. ❤️ Little Henry, his family and the wonderful staff at GOSH continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Xxx

Update

DH met his grandson yesterday, very emotion and fell in love with him.

Girls doing so well, DD lifted Henry up for the first time, helping the nurses change his sheets and DiL changed his nappy.

Such tiny, almost insignificant events, but for them and teeny Henry a huge milestone.

DiL still expressing and freezing milk, Henry not ready yet for milk, his eyes still not seen by any of us yet.

Awaiting results of brain scan re bleed, his vitals are very up and down and his nurses call him “Cheeky” and “naughty” with big wide smiles, chatting to him as the gently do their stuff.

Not planning to visit til Saturday, as other family members are going and the girls really need to spend lots of time with their little one.

I’d love to see them and Henry every day, but it’s a good 1.5 hours each way, on a good day, and I know I have to step back a bit.

I’m here, and will drop everything and go on up if they need me or there’s any changes.

I pray things continue to stay stable and better, I just want the mummies and baby Henry to thrive and move forward positively.

Staff are all amazing, consultant sees them every other day and I’m so grateful to them.

Thank you too, your prayers, good wishes and compassion help us get through every day.

I truly hope those of you here going through your own terrible things take comfort that many of us are thinking, hoping, praying for you and your loved ones too.
