15th January 2011 - To Family
Hi again,
Jonathan started breathing on his own late this afternoon, so they were able to take him off the ventilator, and he's now completely breathing on his own which is fantastic news. The stoma is also showing signs that it's starting to work, so hopefully in the next few days he'll be able to be fed for the first time which I'm sure he must be really looking forward to. He's still a bit groggy after the operation, but he did open his eyes a few times today to say hello.
Tracy continues to recover very quickly - so quickly that one of the doctors wasn't sure that she'd had the c-section. They mentioned yesterday that she might be discharged on Monday, but Jonathan probably still has a while longer in NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).
Anyway, we're really glad that Jonathan's being looked after well, and at the moment, he's responding to treatment and is quite stable.
We'll give you more news tomorrow.
Love,
Chris and Tracy
