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.

C-PAP, can't quite live without it

Yesterday when the nurses tried to put Thomas back on his C-PAP after his eight hours respite, he fought back so hard that the doctors decided to leave him off and see how he did. Well he managed nearly 24 hours before he lungs got too tired and his respiration rate was getting a little high so they decided to put it back on for a few hours. He didn't fight quite so hard this time and was obviously very tired as he fell asleep straight away.

As he's doing so well, he's been out of his little incubator for cuddles twice a day which is doing mummy and daddy the world of good!!

Today's picture sees Thomas supporting a very fetching sleepsuit sized for babies up to 3lbs so a better fit than the last outfit!!

P.S. the little porker now weighs 2lbs 5ozs.

Every day is a new experience! Love to you all and great to see Thomas making such good progress.

Shame about his football team though, I'll have to have words when he is older.
