They are not worried about her IVH (brain bleed) apparently it is a "grade 2" and should not cause any problems. They are doing another scan just to check everything is okay, but there have been no clinical indications of any problems.
They want to start treatment for the heart duct,but have to wait untill at least tomorrow morning to find out if there is any infection. If there is no more evidence of infection then they will start treatment.
The team are happy with her and reiterated to us the fact that this is a LONG haul. Months not weeks. She is making progress, but everything should be done slowly. This is because, alongside each treatment she has to grow and mature aswell.
She has just had the new line put in and uncle Chris and aunty Helen have popped down from York to see her. She has also been given a blood transfusion because she was running a little low.
Bet Katy thought that Daddy was the biggest Richards, time to take uncle chris in and prove her wrong!

Hi Leanne and Mark,
I've just heard your news after a week off work . . . What a surprise!
So glad that all is ok with Katy (and you Leanne, i'm sad to lose my pregnancy buddy!!) From reading your blog it sounds like all is going as it should, and I'm so happy for you for that. She's gorgeous, sooo cute. I'll be thinking of you lots. Make sure you take care of yourselves new mummy, and daddy.
Love Fran (PICU) & Tim XXXXXX
