Weekend Cuddles

Plenty of love for Jonathan this weekend - first a cuddle with mummy:


Then with daddy:


And also with por por:

Finally he was returned to his cot for a moment of quiet contemplation:


No "new news" today on the transfer for his shunt surgery, nor has he been given anything by mouth yet.

Also, Jonathan's breathing is still a little shallow so the levels of oxygen in his blood (measured by the little wrist band that gives his hand that ET-like red glow) are lower than normal. Apparently heart babies frequently have lower levels of oxygen in their blood, so the cardiologists are keeping an eye on Jonathan to make sure that they are still happy with the lower level of oxygen and if needed, they can decide to give him some extra oxygen as a boost. The nurses have also been putting Jonathan on his tummy or on his side in the cot rather than on his back which makes it a little easier for him to breathe.

Again, I guess we just have to wait and see what happens!
