PREMATURE BIRTH, A GRANDAD'S STORY

Good Morning All, and what a good morning it appears to be, I am happy to report that there is nothing but good news today! After the trauma and emotion of Thursday and Friday Dilan has gone from strength to strength. In simple terms it was discovered that Dilan had a major build up of "Fluid" in her lungs and throat which was making it nigh on impossible for her to breath, as soon as this was realised a suction programme was introduced and a course of a drug which drys up the fluid, since these two things have been administered she has gone from being supported on a ventilator to breathing only air on her own !!! This has also resulted in her "De Sats", this when she forgets to breath for a few seconds, have dropped to practically zero, Amazing change, and on top of all this I have had a text from Gareth this AM to say she has also managed to gain a small bit of weight, 990gms in total, not a lot but when you consider what she has been through in the last 72hrs that is amazing too !!! So happily on to the next 24hrs........
