Three months old

Today little man is three months old. Today little man is very cranky, and tired after the goings on of yesterday. His eyes were a little puffy and looked a bit sore this morning. He hasn't opened them very much today. He has also cried a lot today, every time he is touched or woken.

Doctor Mary this morning said Jensen had recovered surprisingly well (???) from the surgery. This is because he had come off the ventilator quite quickly and straight back onto Optiflow which was being weened back down to four overnight, and he was in air. Once he got back to three this morning his oxygen went up to 24% which is where he has hovered for most of the day. He let everyone know he did not like the compression pack on his eyes, so we made do with some sunnies to block out the light (which he also protested about after a while). We ended up putting a screen up beside him to block any light that could have been bothering him.

He's back on to full feeds, and was due for a weigh in today. Due to his ever-present crankiness we will weigh him tomorrow, when hopefully he's feeling a little better. Apparently he had 1800 zaps of the laser in both eyes, which I guess is a massive amount for any human, let alone one weighing 1.6kgs....

We will be returning to breastfeeding tomorrow, and rumour has it going up to three a day. Hopefully little man is feeling up to it in the morning. Mummy took advantage of no breastfeeds today and had a little sleep in.

We didn't want to leave our little Jensen tonight as he was so sad and miserable.....I hope he's back to his happy little self in the morning.
