| Day 18 |
OK. So Day 18. I'm spending less time at the hospital because I am back at work now. It's so hard. I can't concentrate at work, my mind just keeps wandering off on a tangent.
Joseph is now feeding himself every two hours and has had another settled day. But, as you're aware, we've been brilliant all this way. We were warned that somewhere, sometime, we would face a slight set back. And today was one.
The doctors have placed Joseph on 24% oxygen in his incubator, rather than just solely air. His oxygen saturation levels have been dropping all day so they feel the need to add oxygen to his environment to aid him.
After he's been doing so well, this his me like a freight train. I guess I jst became wrapped up in the high points that I completely forgot about the possibility of a downfall.
OK, its nothing major, but it feels that way. It will delay his progression into a cot as opposed to his incubator. But, I guess its to his benefit that they are doing this.
He will be weighed tomorrow morning and assessed on his oxygen levels so we'll see.
I had a lovely cuddle off him this evening - spewed up on me, three times!!!
Keep fighting my beautiful little boy.
