Elis has been doing ok again the last few days. He's had more blood cultures come back clear and had another Lumber Puncture on Friday which is also clear for infection, so hopefully they'll stop his antibiotics tomorrow and he can get on with the business of being a growing baby. He weighed in on Thursday night at 2.56kg (5lb 10oz) so is back to where he was before his stint back in ITU, which is good.
He's had a few visits from a physiotherapist to help with positioning and development, and also a Speech and Language Therapist came to see him today to advise on how we can help him now learn how to feed from a bottle. He needs to be able to have a more satisfying feed than via the tube when I'm not around (plus we have a freezer full of milk that he needs to learn how to drink!).
He's had a really 'nosey' day today, really interested in everything going on in the unit and was awake for hours. He should sleep well tonight!
