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.

In the blue corner, weighing in at 976g

Thomas was weighed today and now weighs a whopping 976g!! He was born weighing just 882g so has already shown a rapid increase in the last 12 days. The nurses have also suggested that in the next few days, he might be moved to the next room. Moving to the next room seems like a huge step in the right direction although the next room is still high dependency but at least he'd be out of intensive care - we'd better not get too carried away as he hasn't been moved yet.

Aunty Sandie visited Thomas today and brought him some lovely clothes to wear - of course very fashionable clothes too!! We left him very peacefully breathing off his C-PAP and luckily didn't have to see him get upset when the nurses put him back on it. He's now taken off C-PAP every eight hours for two hours and is doing
brilliantly, here's a photo taken this morning. Also attached is another picture of Thomas cuddling mummy.
