Little man has increased his milk to 7 mls, and appears to get cranky around feeding time. Seems he doesn't like being hungry...
The doctors have finally located the source of infection that they were having trouble finding. He has E.coli in his blood and has been having antibiotics for the last few days, so hopefully that's on its way out. This evening Jensen has had a scan on his heart, as sometimes the candida that he'd had can grow little spores around his body, and his heart and eyes are clear indication of it. It also looks as though his duct may be smaller than the doctors thought, and perhaps the loudness of it on a stethoscope when they check, is due to it closing.....I hope so!
Jensen has been well behaved today, had good gases and seems to be responding to the steroids.
Phil and I had to have a case consult with the new consultant this afternoon, which is something we were both very anxious about. Essentially it's a progress report, what ifs and other things we don't want to hear, but has to be said because of legal reasons etc. I think we are both feeling better now that it's done, and hoping to avoid any others that are looming.
Tomorrow Jensen will be 29 weeks gestation....
