Promotion!!!

After six weeks in intensive care, Thomas has finally been promoted to the next room!! He's now in high dependency along with Jack, Tom, Joshua and Aayla (all babies that he met in intensive care).

This morning, the long line was taken out of Thomas' leg as he is back on full feeds of mummy's milk so doesn't need to be given TPN . He only needs his saturation probe now to measure his oxygen saturation but even this is improving daily. His nurse (Aunty Audrey) has decided that he could manage more time off his C-PAP too so will be doing 10 hours off and only 2 hours on today. She's hoping he'll manage without it completely tomorrow and will be in a cot by the weekend!!

We are still amazed by his transformation in just two weeks. And guess what, he will be having his first bath this afternoon - his parents are rather excited by this prospect however, I doubt Thomas would feel the same if he knew.

I'll update the blog later with a photo of his first bath but here's one I took this morning.
