Today Brett was transferred to ward 16, at the heartlands and i was allowed to stay over night.  It was lovely to be able to give Brett 24 hour care from myself without having to go home and leave him. Brett continues to have little bits of feed from he bottle but the majority is through the ng tube.

Brett was sick after the nurse fed him this morning. The Dr reviewed Brett's xray and he said that Brett's chest is clear and that his lungs are better than in his last xray (which was done on the day that he was born). I fed Brett when i got to the NNU but he only took 30ml, so he had the rest down the tube. His feeding tube has been re-sited in his nose because he no longer needs the nasal specs for the oxygen. Bretts bottom is slightly better today.

Brett has been taken off the oxygen completely today and his sats are ok, except for dropping just a little bit when he is having a feed. His breathing is also sounding a bit wheezy when he is having a feeding so a chest xray was done, we are waiting for a review by the Dr.  Bretts feeds continue to be part by bottle and part by tube

Brett took 75ml from the bottle for me today. Well done Brett!! I gave Brett lots of cuddles today, including his first hold and cuddle from big sister Sam. Bretts bum is still a bit sore, the nurses are checking it 3 hourly instead of 6. Brett still needs small amounts of oxygen.

I visited Brett today on my own whilst Gary waited in the car, still suffering with the flu. I was going to give Brett a bath today but when the nurse did his temperature it was too low to chance bathing him, so i jus gave him a top & tail instead, he was then wrapped up and i gave him lots of cuddles

i tried Brett with a bottle again and managed 45ml before he got too tired, so the rest was given down the tube.  Brett's bottom still seems to be a bit sore so I put lots of cream on it.
