The big weigh in

Jensen weighs a kilo! In fact, he weighed in overnight at 1003grams, so mummy has to get busy baking the celebratory kilo cake... I was so excited this morning I went around and informed all the other nurses of Jensen's heavy little self.

He has also started back on milk today. One ml every 4 hours by tube for now, so hopefully his tummy is all better now and will tolerate the milk well. The doctors have also cleared him of all infections, all tests have come back negative which means the infection in his bowel, umbilical area, and lung have gone. He has now ceased all antibiotics and should be ready for some steroids to help his duct close and to help him get off the ventilator and make the gradual progression to CPAP. While the infections were present they can't administer steroids as the steroids mask the infections. In total Jensen had six infections present within his little body. Boy what a tough strong little fighter we have.

Jensen's newest editions

Jensen's had quite a restful day today, not much poking and prodding, and lots of mummy just staring at him. All the nurses comment on what a handsome little chap he is, with his cute little face....seems as though mummy and daddy aren't so biased after all..
