29th December 2008

My girl weighs 1120gms today. She lost 40gms overnight. That’s okay though as they are still trying to get her feeds right. They have put the catheter back in to her distal stoma (1 of her holes in her gut) and are pumping her number 2’s back down there so it can come out her bottom. They are still trying to get her bowel moving properly and it is taking quite a while to get it right.
She had an x ray today so we are still waiting to see what the doctors say about her limbs and bones. She had an iv drip in her hand which looked very sore which is probably the reason why she was in a shitty mood. My daughter Nimeesha was replacing the steri gel by the wash basin. She pretty much knows where everything is in the place just like us. We have kinda become part of the furniture now. It is going to be really sad when we actually get to take our baby home. The neonatal unit has become our life and the nurses are like a second family to us.
