Sunday 29th

Hi all,

Anna's had another good day today... the wires are starting to deplete as she continues to do well - the heart rate one came off today. She's only receiving the tiniest bit of TPN as her milk intake is now right up, and she's barely sedated at all. The nurses have covered Anna's exomphalos with a loose stretchy support, which means that she can now wear a little front-fastening baby-gro, and her overhead heater can be turned down. It also makes it easiier to move her, so Janie enjoyed a cuddle with Anna earlier today. Anna looks so cute with her baby-gro on - I'll get some photos tomorrow, I hope! She looks more like a 'normal' baby - albeit one with a very large beer-belly !!

My mum & dad are staying this week so Ella is all set for more spoiling and I'm being very well looked after. Janie's still at Crawford House which is an absolute Godsend - Janie can see lots of Anna but go and have a proper rest when needed; and it's a mere 10 minutes from Marks & Spencers!!

Thanks once again for all the messages - it's really helping us along.
