What a great weekend!!!
Katy is now over 3lb. Weighing in at 1.38Kg. She has been put on nasal oxygen (see 4th pic) and has been taking a complete feed from a bottle (see 2nd pic). We have been visited by two aunties; Catherine and Lois and we were cooked a delicious meal by James and Sarah.
Katy is on 0.02litres of oxygen per minute which is only a tiny puff and 0.01 is the lowest she can go so she is nearly off extra oxygen. She is taking a lot of feeds from the bottle and a little from Leanne. Feeding and breathing without support are two massive steps towards coming home, so well done Katy.
Sorry that my blog updates have reduced in frequency, but I promise that you will be the first to know any important news.

Oh what lovely pics!
Katy looks a bit grumpy in the first one, but very happy in the third - she even looks like she is posing for the camera, with her arm up behind her head.
Hi Leanne, Mark and beautiful Katy,
Good to know she's doing so well. She looks lovely in her little sleepsuit. Hope you are looking after yourselves too,
lots of love,
sarah, jon, naomi and little dan

Hi Katy, Leanne & Mark
We are delighted to see the progress Katy is making.
The pictures are brill. So many people are asking about the three of you and tell us you are all in their prayers.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love Nan & Gramps.
Hi Leanne, Mark and Katy.
What brilliant pictures, sooo happy for you that everyting is going well. I've just looked back at the very 1st picture that you posted and the change is just incredible. Well done Katy!
(my baby is now 25wks so to see your 1st pic also makes it very real. Can't believe that you shouldn't even have started your mat leave yet Leanne. Missing you pregnancy buddy!!)
Lots of love Fran PICU and Tim XXXX

WOW! The pictures are amazing! It's fantastic to see Katy doing so well, hopefully home is in sight!! Thinking of you all. Much Love Jane (PICU) x
another wonderful set of pictures! thanks very much, now downloaded onto mobile to show everyone who isn't following the blog. Someone asked after Katy's aunt and her TV appearance of five years ago today so I expect questions about Katy and her wellbeing for many years to come!
Katy looks a right little character! She's filling out nicely now. You look so happy in your photos, it's so lovely to see after everything you've been through. Keep up the good work, you're on the home straight!
Lots of love,
Rach and Stephen xx

My daughter Alice wen thru a similar start in life: born 3 month early, 1100g down to 1000g. She was 3 month in the hospital, and was weak for the first year, with some stomach problem.
She is now 5, a bit above the median weight, alive and well, had no further illness beyond coqueluche (is that small pox ?). She beats all her classmates and most adults at "memory" card games, her favorite.
[since France has extensive public health coverage, the first 3 month in the neonatal hospital did not cost a thing (or did I have to pay a small comensation for the baby food ?)]
