Sunday August 7 & Monday August 8

Our little star has now put on ten grams each day and has now hit 1.2 kg! She still has her heart murmur but they cannot use any more medication because she's already had two courses so they are just going to wait and see how it affevts her breathing etc and she might need surgry to close it up.

Her optiflow has been turned down from 4 to 3 in order to try and stop all the air in her tummy which was causing massive explosive poos! She did one for me while her nappy was off and it shot to the end of the cot - just lovely! Her milk has also been increased to 8ml and hour from 6ml an hour which is apparently a big jump in one day, but it has meant that she's now got the long line out of her arm.

She wore her first jumpsuit that Daddy bought her on Sunday and looked so cute! She's just like a miniature baby! She is also becoming more aware of when we're there and opens her eyes a lot more and tries to follow you. On Monday Mum got an hour cuddle which was some beautiful grandma/granddaughter bonding time while I has a sleep in.

Well that's all for now she is very stable and I have been feeling a lot better about the whole situation. We are planning a night out to go to a Chinese restaurant for a group of us here at Ronnie's which will be a good excuse for all of us to get away from the hoapital and think of something else for a while.

Take care and once again we pray that Stella continues to grow strong and stay healthy.
Love Lauren
