A very short visit

We turned up to the hospital just a few minutes ago.  The staff were not quite ready for us to visit, but let us in for a short visit.  We are now sitting outside waiting for the doctors to finish their rounds.

So no update from the doctors, but we can let you know a few small things that have given is great hope.   Firstly, he has gone down to 39 cm.  This is the smallest he has been since he was born.  Also, it is very clear that his abdomin is not as tight.  Even more movement than I  noted last night.   Finally, the breathing support has been reduced again and is now at its lowest level since birth.

So from our two minute visit, all looks to be improving well.

As for Jules,  she spent quite a comfortable night at home.  While the care in the hospital was fine,  there's no place like home.

We were also blessed by one of our friends (Dorothy) who went to 'bumps to babes' and got Julie a pump thingy.  She's not used one of those before as both the kids refused to take a bottle (good little kids aren't they).  She gave it a go this morning which seemed to work ok.   I can understand why this is needed now, but in future when he's home, i'm not a fan (wouldn't like to take away my excuse not to get up in the night now would I).

Will is not yet ready for food, but all things going well he will need it soon.

Thanks for your continuing support and prayers.  Jules and I are both feeling quite calm and peaceful about the situation, which is a great blessing in these circumstances.

Ps.  Dave,  thanks for keeping a little humour in our lives.  Your "rude" comments are of course welcome.  For all the non Australian people reading, please don't be offended by Dave, he really is a nice bloke despite what everyone says.
