Little Miss Wriggle

















It has been a tough day today.

As you can read below, we had some bad news this morning and that really put our emotions through the juicer. Katy has been stable all day, she has been lying on her front and seemed to know that she should take things easy.

The staff have not really done anything today, to give her the best chance of survival. She has not had another brain scan but her blood results indicate that she is okay for now. There could be damage, but she has been moving all day.

Katy was visited by her Grandparents; Dean and Dawn. They were very happy to see her, they even forgot about getting stuck in the Kingston one way system!

Katy has had another set-back though. All babies are born with a "hole" in their heart that closes when they are born. Katy's has not closed, like lots of premature babies, and she will need some extra treatment to try and get it shut. It is not a massive issue yet as she is so small.

Two new pics today, sorry, they are a little blurry, but we did not want to use the flash. She is definately a Richards, note the wide nose and shovel hands.

We are all very tired, especially Nano and its time to turn in. The nurse who's looking after Katy tonight said that she was one of the wriggliest babies that she has seen for ages. This was a lovely finish to a trying day.
