16th January 2011 - To Family
Hi All,
Baby Jonathan's stoma seems to be working, and the nurse was able to connect a bag today to collect the waste. She showed us how to take care of it, and it doesn't look as bad as it sounds. He woke up today for a little bit while we changed his nappy today, and was happily looking around the room, oblivious to all that's gone on in his 4-day-long life. We're so glad that he seems to be happy about all of this, and not in too much discomfort.
They've stopped draining his stomach from his nose tonight to see if he'll be able to process it on his own. They've also taken him off the pain killers, as they said he looks pretty comfortable and mightn't need them any longer. So, if he goes well overnight, Tracy should be able to start feeding him tomorrow which I'm sure he'll be looking forward too!
Please continue praying for him - we're a bit concerned about his head once again as the nurses found it increased in size slightly today. The consultants should see him tomorrow and hopefully we'll know whether it's anything to worry about then.
Love,
Chris and Tracy
