Quick update
Feeling sad, not because of dear Henry, but having a really bad fibro/CFS flare up and feel too exhausted to get the train up to GOSH, ( have one totally flat tyre and one slow puncture on my car. Haven’t been able to book in for repair as flat only occurred yesterday)
But the important thing is, both mummies and Henry are fine and DD 3 is visiting them today, on the train we were both planning on getting, and yesterday DD 1 (my lovely step-daughter) visited them.
Both mummies have now been able to have Henry on their chest for those important skin to skin cuddles and bonding.
They are both involved daily with his care, and Henry is remaining stable, he’s having his mummies milk, he’s put on 4oz, so now at 2 weeks, 3 days, he weighs 2lbs.
Bowel operation appears to be healing well, no more lung bleeds, brain bleeds remaining stable.
The girls are hoping to take the train home on Tuesday (all being well) and spend time here and also register him and DD can spend time with her three sausages, whom she’s missing, but luckily they seem to be fine and are actually behaving quite nicely, as I type this they are curled up, sleeping, next to me on the sofa.
DH running around after me with cups of tea and snacks and I’m very much hoping a very quiet restful day will recharge my batteries and tomorrow I can get to fixing car tyres and other chores. (DH doesn’t drive and we live in mid terrace on a very busy road so mobile tyre fitters not really suitable).
Hoping to visit GOSH again with other “nan” (I am Granny, as was my mother and her mother, other “nan” thinks this is hilarious, but my maternal DGM was from Lancashire), on Wednesday.
DDs will update us re Henry tonight, but as I type it’s so lovely to think he is currently very stable and the two new mummies are coping well.
As always, I thank you for reading and for your ongoing kind thoughts and positive wishes.
I wish you all the best weekend possible and 🙏 🤞 for all of you and your families who are going through difficulties atm. 🌻🌻🌻 🩵🩵🩵
