Elijah is now 1.174kg 🥰
The night before last he had a bit of a rocky one,and needed his CPAP pressure put back up.
Today they lowered it again and he seems to be coping well 💕
He has 2 more days nil my mouth ( has completed 8...don't know how he does it,I know I'd be HANGRY 🤣) and then they will x-ray his Tummy and re-access feeds 🤞
Overall he's doing really well, just what he should be doing 💕
Hemaglobin is low so will be expecting another blood transfusion in the coming days

Hello everyone ❤️
Today I had my CPAP pressures lowered to a 8 and I'm tolerating it so well! It's a bit challenging to inflate my lungs all on my own but I will get there ❤️
I'm weighing 1.103kg 💪 trying to pile on the weight so I can get closer to home to my daddy, siblings,and grandparents.
I'm still nil by mouth due to my tummy,but I'm feeling much better 🤗
Mummy and I just had 6 1/2 hours of kangaroo cuddles so now I'm feeling very relaxed, daddy called and spoke to me via video call while we had cuddles,it felt like he was just next to me, was so comforting to hear his voice ❤️❤️
15th August.
It's been confirmed Elijah has NEC..he will remain NIL by mouth until further notice for his gut to rest.
When they did his x-ray they noticed his heart was enlarged,upon further investigation today they found he has pericardial effusion around the linning of his heart.
Poor baby is in the wars atm 🥺
