What a difference a day makes 😢😢

Good to hear. The skill of the staff is awe-inspiring.

Thank you for your update Cossy. Still thinking of you all. Warmest best wishes to youand DH, the mummies and of course, little Henry.

Recognising the need for balance in visiting etc is a sign of your love for them all cossy. It shines through x

Thank you for taking the time to update us on little Henry’s progress. Love and strength to you and your family … keeping fighting Henry💪

Thank you for the update Cossy. Wee Henry is surrounded by so much love.💐

How wonderful for Henry’s mums that they can hold him and be involved in his care. Things have moved on so much in 40 years. I pray that he will continue to go from strength to strength surrounded by his family’s love and the skill of the GOSH staff. ❤️

Oh Cossy you're simply being the best Mum. Mum-in-law and Grandma. Supportive and completely understanding of the somewhat surreal and fragile situation you find yourself in.

So glad Henry and Grandad are now acquainted!

Stay strong, and yes, what may seem like tiny steps are really massive ones.

Henry 🙏🏻

Continuing to send love to baby Henry and his family and grateful thanks to the wonderful NICU staff.

Those such encouraging steps, Cossy, to hold Henry and take part in his care. In modern parlance, they’re building memories with him and whatever the future holds, they will never lose those beautiful experiences. 🩵

🤞🤞for further good news about Henry and best wishes to all.

Such a special union for your DH yesterday. It's amazing how resilient these little mites are your GS sounds a little fighter. Still saying prayers for you all and the fact that going through what you are that you still have time to think of others who may be suffering days a lot about you. Bless you.

Says not days

So glad the mummies can lift him and change his nappy. Their touch will give little Henry comfort.
Your strength will also help to sustain his mummies.

Ooo, good to hear. .

Thanks all, always so lovely, and actually sustaining, to hear and read your posts. You give me strength.

I’ll update again in a few days

Thank you for the update Cossy.
So pleased that the mums were able to hold Henry.

Sending you all good wishes and keeping you in my thoughts.

Thank you for the update Cossy and look forward to hearing again.

Morning all

As always, I think of you all and those especially those going through difficult times themselves

Yesterday evening, DS, oldest son, travelled after work by train from Bristol to GOSH, meeting dear Henry then taking them out for a slap up meal, stopping off at a shop on the way back to GOSH to fund copious amounts of snacks. Then late train home to Bristol.

When he arrived DiL had baby Henry on her chest, for the first time, a truly magical moment which DD photographed and sent to us.

At two weeks old Henry is continuing to fight, having Mum’s milk and both Mum’s now involved with his care.

We all know it’s a long, arduous, up and down rollercoaster, but each new day brings us all joy and hope.

Thanks all for your continued 🙏, 🩵, 🤞all so gratefully received. Yesterday I received the most beautiful knitted blanket from one of my friends.

Enjoy your day as best you all can 🌻🌻

This is very positive news Cossy - long may it continue. What a moment of joy it must have been for you all to see Henry snuggled to your DIL.

I'm delighted for you all.

Thanks for the update, Cossy, Henry is a wee personality now!
Thinking of you and yours, keeping Henry and all who love him and care for him in my prayers.🕯️🙏🕯️

Glad Henry is having more contact with his mums. Best medicine is the strong love of his mummies.

Good oh, - this sounds so much like my nephews progress.
Reasons to be optimistic.

each new day brings us all joy and hope

Wonderful to read, cossy
Best wishes to you all.

He’s getting there Cossy. Baby steps for your very special little lad! Every good wish to you all
