The latest from the hospital is that Bailey was 'great' last night. He has had a couple of potassium infusions to make up for what he lacked, and he has also been given dextrose in solution to balance his blood sugar, which is down a little on what it should be.
Bailey was weighed today...... he has gone from 500g at birth to a whopping 710g today. The nurse weighed him twice to be sure there was no mistake. Part of the increase may be due to retained fluid, but he has put on some proper weight.
Much of the fluid has gone and his head is now quite well defined. Mummy changed Bailey's nappy and it upset him so much that his ventilation needed to be increased for a short while. He hates to be disturbed.
