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.

22/7/07

Today Elis has been tried on two-hourly feeds, which he tolerated for most of the day but then decided he'd had enough and started to desaturate and have episodes of his heart rate slowing. Once he was back on continuous feeds he settled back down again and was lovely when Glyn and I were there with him. They'll try changing his feeding pattern again tomorrow and see what happens. The plan is to still try to make progress with him in other areas whilst his lungs (hopefully) start the slow process of repairing.
