We thought she might have incredible hulkitus where small babies turn green and rip their clothes, but, apparently, she had just had a brain scan last night.
The scan showed that there had been no extension of the bleed and some of the clot had gone away too. Brilliant! She has been taken off the drugs that were keeping her blood pressure up, because she can do that on her own, thank you very much.
She is going to be kept on antibiotics for another 24 hours. Her cultures have not shown any signs of infection and her infection levels have dropped too.
She is very lively today and I just had the pleasure of doing some "containment holding" that helped her get back to sleep. I hope I can retain this particular skill!!
She seems alive today. A fantastic feeling!!
P.S. Leanne had a very nice haircut this morning. It will take a lot of requests to perswade her to put a photo on to show you all...
P.P.S. Took some nice photos today.I'll post them tonight.
