Well, it's been all go since Wednesday - apologies for the day's absence! Anna was moved to Ward 4 Paediatrics yesterday which was great but a little scary. She now has her own room which is very nice and bright. It also gives us a lot more privacy and the chance to get to know her a bit better. There is a single bed in the room, so I stayed over with her last night for the first time since she was born. It was lovely!
The main aim of our Ward 4 sister, Carol, is to get us home. Anna's consultant knows that he can't operate before Anna is a year old and therefore would prefer her to be nursed at home sooner rather than later. We think that we may well be home in a week or two, with an awful lot of support from the district nurses etc.
Anna had her first ever bath today. It was with a special disinfectant bubble bath and she loved it. Having her exomph floating about must be a little like being back in the womb I think. We could also see that new skin is starting to grow nicely around the base and the top, which is wonderful.
Andy wet the baby's head last night with Ed and Al. He is in a terrible state.
Anna's visitors today include big sister, grandma and granddad and Uncle Ed.
A special mention in dispatches must go to everyone who has helped look after Ella over half term week, so thank you to Dendle and Margaret, Kim, Ed and Sheena; and Mark and Julia. You are all stars!
