His blood transfusion went fine on Wednesday evening but didn't seem to make him any more stable on Thursday, much to everyone's dismay. He's been on and off low flow and (understandably) seems to prefer it to CPAP (it must be so much more comfortable) although the CPAP gives him more of a rest. He's been resting a lot and growing well. He put on another 110g over three days last week and now weighs a staggering 1.625kg (3lb 9oz). He's still having little goes at breastfeeding and is doing well but he can't seem to stay awake long enough to have a really good crack at it!!
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.
