18th November 2008

My baby weighed 730gms today.
When I got to the hospital they told me that because it had been a week and there was nothing in her colostomy bag, she had to go to the fluoroscopy department to have some treatment. So she got packed up again into her little spaceship and off we went over to the new hospital. The doctor put some dye stuff into her stoma - well into the part of the bowel that was sticking out. It was rather fascinating to watch on the x-ray screen. The doctor said it may not work and we would have to go back and do it again. When Jackie the neonates specialist went to put her nappy on all the me conium started oozing out of her gut. It was rather exciting. I took photos of it so if anybody wants to see them then let me know!!
Antz got there just as we had finished out by the time we got back to the neonates she had made a big mess, so he didn’t miss much at all. Because her bed needed to be changed Jackie asked Antz to hold baby up while she changed her bed. He said it didn’t really feel like he was holding much. But it was still rather exciting as it was the first time he got to hold her. I’ll get my turn one day!!
Anyway when we left the hospital we were relived and felt more at ease because we knew she would start feeling better soon.
