On the move again
Sylvie was moved again yesterday from High Dependency to the Low Dependency Room. She needs to consistently put some weight on and regain her strength so that she can feed consistently without the tube. The opthalmologist was called this morning as the doctors were worried that her pupils were not reacting quickly enough to light. The consultant opthalmologist gave her eyes a structural all clear but we will need to monitor her gaze for the next six weeks, if there's a worry that she can't follow movement or sound with her eyes then the opthalmologist will want to re-examine her. Just one thing after another at the moment. Emma, Sylvie's nurse weighed her this evening before her feed and she's put on 60g so up to 4.18kg - that means she has another 60g to get back to her birth weight.
Sylvie and I were visited in the unit yesterday by the chief obstetric consultant to apologise for me being discharged from hospital so quickly and my experience in general! An apology from the NHS, wonders will never cease! Sylvie and I are going to be a teaching case apparently and when the chief read our notes she came straight over with her minions and has invited me back to the hospital to discuss everything with her once Sylvie is safely at home. The nurses were stunned at the visit and I really don't know what to make of it all. I had felt very positive about the whole labour and delivery experience and certainly hadn't complained to anyone about anything. Can't fault the care that Miss Sylvie has received either, far from it. She asked for us by name so we hadn't been mixed up with anyone else either. I gave a glowing report of Hawah and the NeoNatal Unit staff so hopefully they'll be given credit where it's well and truly due.
Mum met Sylvie for the first time yesterday when she popped in for 5 minutes before taking off to Frome.
Tom's new album Life Tracks is out - Christmas is coming folks, put it on your present list! - and the album launch is on Thursday at the Big Chill House, we're buying our copy tomorrow and are looking forward to hearing it.
