Mark has big, goalkeeper, hands.

Today has been a steady day.

Katy has now been stable for over 36 hours after her extended bleed. This is good and, if she stays stable, they will try to take the breathing tube out of her, as I mentioned below. They will also be scanning her heart to give us a definitive answer on the PDA.

There have been some nice things today. She has been stretching her arms and legs and wiggling her hands and feet. I saw her get her nappy changed, and she had done a big poo. I was very proud. Leanne has been handling her quite often, but i'm still too scared to do much apart from what you can see above.

We had a nice walk to Tooting and a delicious "subway". Having to decide how many olives you want on your club sandwich can take your mind away from the fear. We have both felt it today, we just sit and look at Katy and she twitches in a strange way, then we think; "Is she having a bigger bleed?" and we watch her for the next five minutes until she does a normal looking wriggle and we breathe a sigh of relief. I suppose we had better try and get used to these feelings.

It could be a big day tommorrow, we will try and keep you posted when we can.
