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.

Chubby cheeks

Thomas has been improving every day and is looking much like his old self, if not a little more chubby. He started to be fed today though is only getting 1ml every two hours so nothing substantial. Once the doctors are happy that the inflammation has subsided and his intestine can cope with milk, they will start to increase the quantity.

The other good news is that Thomas has manage two hours off his C-PAP machine already!! Obviously it is still early days and once we've overcome this hurdle, the next one will be his swollen brain so we're still climbing that mountain.

Tonight's picture sees mummy having a lovely cuddle with Thomas.
