Jessica is ten months old tomorrow and is continuing to do
well. She is really gaining weight
beautifully – now up to 6845g (15lb 1oz) and above the 2nd
centile. It has been quite a sociable week for her. She has spent a couple of days staying at Nanny’ house (with Mummy too) and went to visit Uncle Adrian and Auntie Julie.
She also had her first trip to
Butlins earlier this week to spend time with Auntie Twinny, Uncle Matt, cousins
Ebony and Erin and Auntie Maxine.
Despite the rain, we all had a great time and Jessica went swimming for
the first time. The water was a little
on the chilly side but Jessica loved it – splashing around in her swim ring and
enjoying bobbing up and down when the wave machine started. She did get a little bit blue after about 15
minutes and we had to get her out and dry her off but her colour picked back up
quite quickly once she had warmed up. She also ehad great fun riding in the shopping basket going round the shop which was very funny!
It was a huge relief to us all yesterday when the decision of the Safe and Sustainable review was made and we heard that Southampton was one of the centres that was going to continue providing children’s cardiac surgery. The care that we have received so far from the team there has been superb and we are so glad that Jessica’s future care will continue in a hospital that has become very familiar to us. Jessica has her next check-up at Oxford next week and hopefully all will be well with this.
