Slowly slowly catchy monkey

It has been a good morning.

Katy has been stable now for over 24 hours after the bleed. She is not in the clear yet but we can breathe a whisper of relief. We have spent a lot of time with her today and been able to have physical contact which feels very special.

We spoke to the consultant earlier and he is happy with her. He has told us that she might not have a PDA (hole) and even if she does, only a small percentage of babies need surgery. If she stays stable, they might take the breathing tube out of her throat (extubate) tomorrow.

It feels nice right now,walking in the sun (especially as I know i'm gonna get grub) so we can all enjoy a positive time because it might not last long.
