Elis has had a good week and has remained infection free (as far as we can tell at the moment). He had us worried at the beginning of the week when his oxygen requirements went up, but that could be in response to his steroids being gradually reduced, thus having to work harder.
He's doing really well with learning how to bottle feed now and yesterday started on alternate bottle and tube feeds. They've even started talking about starting the discharge process again so if he can avoid infection and get rid of the tube feeds then he might be able to come home some time in November.
He's still putting on weight, checking in at 2.64kg (about 5lb 13oz) on Thursday night and has grown too big to be living in the cot so was upgraded yesterday into a swinging crib. It's beginning to look like his own private bedroom in the corner of High Care!

Dear Josie & Glyn
We will keep our fingers crossed that Elis continues to make good progress, it would be wonderful if he could come home.
Love Jane, Wes, Rufus & Elliot XX
