93 days old!

Jonathan has spent another day in NICU, still connected to the ventilator and fast asleep. Despite being heavily sedated with a cocktail of morphine, vecuronium and midazolam, he still manages to suck on his beloved dummy like there's no tomorrow!

They think this most recent episode is related to an infection and possibly a swollen gut, although all the tests and X-rays can't find a reason for his swollen belly. There might be a few more tests they can do to check it out, but they'd prefer him to be slightly less fragile (and so would we)!

At the moment he seems very relaxed and peaceful, happy to let the ventilator take care of his breathing - hopefully he stays like this for the rest of tonight.

He's 93 days old today, and Tracy's been into the hospital 93 days straight visiting him! We're starting to get to know the staff and some of the other parents here at Tommy's quite well - so glad he's being so well looked after.

He gets to meet his other grandparents yeh-yeh Stephen and ma-ma Lynda on Sunday, as well as his aunty Kath. He loves meeting new people, and with any luck he'll be awake for it!
