We're still heading in the right direction and Elis is making steady progress. He's put on another 77g since Thursday and is doing well with his bottle feeds, taking 4-5 full feeds a day orally. His oxygen requirements have increased a little bit to about one litre and his steroids are being reduced this evening so we'll have to wait to see what happens as the week progresses.
Elis' consultant has said that if they can reduce his steroids to the maintenance dose next week without significant changes to his condition then it is possible that he could be coming home in about three weeks. At least his bedroom is now ready but for a few finishing touches!
He's had a busy day today as we've been making the most of the sunshine by going for a little walk around the hospital and then Elis had another bath so he should sleep well tonight.
