Not long after I posted yesterday, Dilan's situation changed a bit, when the consultant saw her with the oxygen on he was not happy about it and had it removed, at the same time he arranged a blood transfusion, this will give her better blood with more hemoglobin, this in turn should stop the low oxygen level in her blood, there is a possiblity that because she has put on such a lot of weight in a short time that her internal functions are unable to keep up as they are not developing as quick, this means that although Dilan is making all the right things there is not enough of them to keep up with her size. On this basis she has had the quantity of milk reduced slightly to slow down weight gain for a while. We will know the results of this by this AM. today.
On a lighter note Dilan had her second bath last night and was "A kicking and A splashing" and to all accounts had a great time. So lets hope that the blood will work and the next 24hrs will see an improvement in Dilan's situation..............
