PREMATURE BIRTH, A GRANDAD'S STORY

I think Dilan's progress in the last 24hrs would best be described as slow but steady, she has improved slightly on the Oxygen in blood front, she is dropping still but is recovering herself without the aid of an oxygen mask, her milk was cut slightly and her weight gain appears to be slowing down, this in turn will, hopefully, help her. We get the opinion that the doctors and nurses are still very happy with Dilan's progress and don't really see this as a problem, just something that "Prems" go through, I suppose that after the last week or so of major moves forward even the smallest dip can seem huge to people close to Dilan, after more than two months of seven day a week hospital visits Mum and Dad, and us, just want to see her go home ! Talking of which Alison has done just that, Mother and baby are both well.
As for Dilan, well I am sure it will be her turn soon, lets just all keep thinking positively and move on to the next 24hrs............
