Daddy's turn

Sorry for no blog yesterday.... I just ran out of time and fell into bed as soon as we got home. We had a lot of visitors yesterday and daddy got his first cuddle!

We were so excited when the answer was 'yes' to our 'can daddy have his cuddle today?' question. We drove home for a shower and headed back clean, fresh, excited and more than ready. Phil had a kangaroo cuddle that lasted around 2 hours. The time just flies by too! Think he was a bit nervous at first, but looked very comfortable with him after that, and Jensen very much enjoyed snuggling on his daddy.

The cuddle was planned for Sunday, but as they were planning on making a lot of changes with Jensen's ventilation perhaps Sunday wouldn't happen. As it turns out Jensen is having another blood and platelet transfusion today and had a busy night with the nurses. They had to change his tube again as he was having a lot of secretions, and this change has caused his ventilation to go up. They had dropped it down yesterday from 60 supported breaths to just 40 out of the 60 breaths being supported by the machine. They are trying to mimic CPAP for him and prepare him for the change. There may be some delay due to the change of the tube last night, but hopefully he'll 'come to the party' as Dr Mary says.
