Amelia Joyce Patricia - born 16:12 25/11/04

Post by LORRAINE G »

Hello Everybody,

This isn't Lorraine, but the DH instead.

Amelia was born yesterday weighing in at 5lbs 6.5oz. She is incredibly beautiful - just like her mum.

:D :D :D :D :D :D And no, I'm not at all biased. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Amelia's not been well since though. She hasn't fed very much at all and this afternoon was taken into the SCBU after she stopped breathing for a second or so in the arms of a midwife.

She's on antibiotics for a suspected Streptococcus infection. Nursing staff aren't treating it that seriously, she's mainly in the SCBU for monitoring and administering the antibiotics.

Lorraine and I can visit anytime and have a cuddle whenever we want - she's not on any support.

Still, Lorraine's tired and would far rather Amelia were with her - a bit more stress she can do without.

Apart from that, Lorraine's doing OK - sore and tired, but recovering well. Possibly better than when she had her laparoscopy if memory serves.

Anyway, that's about all for now.

Will try and keep everyone posted.

I am so pleased to hear your news although I expect you could do without the stress of little Amelia being in scbu, I hope all gets better soon and that you can take her to you forever waiting home to be a family .

Merry Christmas!!!

Thank you all for your lovely replies.

We came home last night, I am very sore still as I have a slight infrection in the Section wound but SO HAPPY to be home. Amelia is a star, all of what she has been through in SCBU and she is settled to feeding every 4 hours and being as good as gold.

I will write more when it becomes more comfortable to sit in front of the screen, until then bye for now...

Much love to you all
