Well, what a palava! Elis' trip out turned into something of a Neonatal Unit Event involving all the staff - the preparations were more like a NASA launch operation than those for a 10 minute stroll with a baby.
Elis was all bundled up in layers of clothes so that he looked like he was stuffed but still looked a bit lost in the pushchair. We had his sats monitor tucked in the hood and his oxygen cylinder in a bag on the handle and with Glyn, Dave, Adity and two nurses with us set off for the great outdoors.
Initially he seemed a bit blinded by the brightness but soon settled down and was very happy with his adventure, as were everyone else so it was an all-round success.
His sats were still good when we got back to the unit and he was quite content sitting in his pushchair. The adventure wore him out a bit so he had a very quiet afternoon and evening!
