I set up this blog to provide some updates on the status of Elis whilst he was in the Neonatal Unit following his birth three months early on 18th June 2007. The blog and his photos are now available as a book from http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1669468.

20/7/07

Today was not too bad despite the fact that it would seem that Elis has e.coli in his lungs again/still (I'm not sure which) as well as another bacteria, but he's still on four different types of antibiotic so hopefully it shouldn't become a problem. Nevertheless, the consultant has requested weekly tests to see what is growing in his lungs.

The good news is that he has managed to increase his own HB level (red blood cell count) in the last day so if he can keep this up he should be able to postpone his next blood transfusion.

The other bit of good news is that as he was pretty stable again today, he came out for another cuddle with me this afternoon!
