As the songs goes, “what a difference a day makes”, and it’s been a day of ups and downs. After going back into hospital, Lucie was fitted with a feeding tube – this is a tube that goes down into the stomach via the nose. After a good feed, she was “topped up” via this…

Another update. A midwife visit yesterday showed that Lucie has lost weight, which is obviously not good. She’s feeding but seems very drowsy and isn’t as awake as she should be.

One (possibly last) update. Jennie and Lucie are now home (since yesterday afternoon). The midwife has visited today and there are no problems. Other than mum and dad having an almost total lack of sleep. But that’s expected. Thanks to everyone for all their correspondence, cards and best wishes.

I thought I’d provide an update on how mother and baby are. Jen and Lucie are still in Hospital. Because of Lucie being premature she’s been having some problems with feeding. Another “weigh in” is due on Sunday and, assuming she’s gained weight, we’ll see what’s happening about going home.
