The diary of Thomas Frank Llewellyn Donovan

Like a friend, we had hoped to set up a blog when our son was born in May as a means of providing a regular update for friends and family. What we weren’t expecting was Thomas to arrive 12 weeks early on 28 February 2006. We are very lucky to have such amazing friends and family to help us through the next few weeks while Thomas is in hospital and hope you will enjoy reading these regular updates on his progress. Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts and wishes. Cass and Chris Donovan.

The best day yet


Thomas was 1 week old today. He is still doing really well and was finally taken off his ventilator yesterday so is now breathing on his own. He has also been taken off antibiotics and morphine so is fully awake (when he's not sleeping!). All the doctors and nurses were so impressed with his progress that today, they let him out of his incubator for his first cuddle with mummy. Not be outdone though daddy got to change his nappy and feed him (through his feeding tube).
