Big week drawing to a close. Jovie has moved on to gravity feeds (no more pump, so just like normal feeding but in her nose still) and has also started to take milk from a little syringe. Her weight is up to 11'11 and she is getting on with her new, longer more flexible custom made trachey brilliantly.
All this great stuff pales in significance to the big events this week. Monday saw both me and Lorn fully signed off to look after jovie on our own. Now all we need is a house and after crossing a few i's and dotting a few t's we will finally be out of here.
The second thing was Jovies first ever trip back to Worcester, not only the furthest she's been from hospital but also the first time she has been "home". Lots of family and friends were there to see her of course and it was truly amazing to have her back albeit just for the day. It does however compound the frustration of being here even more.
With being signed off we are now free to take her out whenever we like without a nurse and have made the most of this with a lazy day today lounging out back at old mcdonalds all day. Great fun.
Tomorrow sees another first for us as for the first time since jovie was born, (16 weeks ago!) me and Lorn are going to be spending the night away from her, as we stop in cheltenham for szabos wedding, a dual celebration as its our two year wedding anniversary too. Babysitter in place we will miss her like mad but do our best to enjoy ourselves, with the help of a drink or two I imagine...
The end of all this is slowly feeling within reach. We can now bid on houses back in Worcester so *hopefully* we will be reporting on news of a new house and an escape from all this very soon.
