We are back on Ocean Ward at the moment ready for Jessica’s cardiac catheter investigation tomorrow. She has had a chest X-ray and echocardiogram in preparation for this and there are no signs at present that there is any leakage from the chylothorax so hopefully she will be able to continue having mummy milk. Her weight has gone down a little to 4950g (10lb 14oz) which isn’t too surprising given the change in feeding – hopefully she will start to gain weight again soon.
Nanny ended up staying another week to help out and have lots of Jessica cuddles whilst Michael was away working on an event in Cannes. We were a little worried that he wouldn’t be able to get back in time for this latest trip into hospital as his flight home was delayed due to snow but thankfully he managed to get back home late yesterday evening.
Otherwise, all is going well with Jessica. She continues to be a very smiley, happy little girl and we are hoping that the findings of tomorrow’s cardiac catheter investigation will be encouraging.
Yea - still thinking of you guys often. Hope everything goes well. Sally (Gillian's friend)
