Yay Cort, what a clever wee man you are, you just want to keep an eye on everything don't you?
Sorry to hear of the wee babe next door will be hoping for a miracle
Thanks for the update Lisa, I love hearing how well Cort is doing
Hugs
Jacqui

Hey everyone,
Just thought that I would update you all quickly on how lil Mr is doing.
Well he is now 655grams and gaining which is great news.
His feeds got put up to 'full feeds' last night which is 9mls because his longline tissued and had to come out.
Today they uped it by adding fortifier and to start with he coped well with it, then this afternoon he threw it up and it obviously was not good cause he started having desats and needed a fair amount of o2 to help him out and suctioning and needless to say he is no longer having fortified milk.
Both of his eyes are finally open not that I have seen them open much at all, but he can if he had the energy to do so.
He is still on CPAP and that is working well for him.
He has had a few apneoas and desats but mostly just Bradycardias (low heart rate), But hey he is doingbetter than anyone ever thought he would.
I promise some photos, I have taken a milky bar kid picture but Milky bar does not come in king size and I have also taken a Kit Kat one cause I think we need a break..lol
Well I will see what I can do about getting those off the camera tomorrow morning.

Yay Lisa, glad to hear wee Cort is growing well and impressing the staff in the unit. I agree too that you need a break! If only it was that easy
Have been thinking of you and your family often, and my family are keeping baby Cort in our prayers. Trying to work out if I am brave and/or random enough to come and visit.

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers and thoughts.
Emma, you can be as 'random' as you like if you would like to come and visit you can txt me on 0210373870 and we could no doubt sort something out if you would like. I would love to meet you but like I have said to so many this is not how I was thinking of doing it....lol
Ok I am not sure if I can get this picture on here and sorry it is huge. My computer is having downsizing issues at the moment, or should I say opening such big ones to start with...will see how I go with the size.

WOW - I agree about Cort. He does look like he's getting bigger. You and the Neonatal staff must be doing such a great job Lisa. Well done
Thanks so much for the updates. We have you all in our thoughts here too and we're so so happy Cort is being a clever wee lad growing big and strong!
Take care

Wow Lisa, look at your gorgeous wee man! He is so tiny, and so perfect! I would love to come and visit, I'll text you in a few days. I'll come when the gremlins are with the nanny, but I'll leave it a week or two coz they're both sick atm and even tho I'm fine I'd hate for one of their bugs to hitch a ride to the hospital with me

Hello everyone!!!
lol Emma you are naughty, you could have come visit anyways aye. But Thank you.
I will get my mate to take Kita home on Thursday so I will be at the hosp during visiting hours and you can come meet this lil man of ours. Oh and me too...lol
Cort is doing good, pale lil man he is at the moment because his Hb levels are dropping, so muc h more and he will be having a blood transfusion (will be good once it is done cause then he will have colour and hopefully a bit of energy)
He is up to 700grams and is still on 9mls which is being fully fortified again but he is spilling it and his bowels have developed loops and his tummy is distended but he is coping with it all fine at the moment besides bradys and desats. Has not had an apnea for a few days which is great!
Kita spent a lil time with him today and here are a few pictures of that.

Awww what a cutie! And he has more hair than both my gremlins combined lol they are baldies! And it really puts into perspective how tiny he is seeing his hand with Kita's. I bet she enjoyed being able to spend some quality time with him.
I am looking forward to meeting you guys on Thurs! A plague on anyone who dares come near my house with germs before then! And I know I didn't have to buy a pressie, but Willie has said I'm not allowed to buy anything else for my girls so I have to get creative and buy stuff for other people instead
