24 January

Day 64. Up and down today. I had a lovely cuddle for a hour and a half this morning. He was a bit wriggly, but good. His weight is back up – now 1395g.
Had lots of replies through Austprem to my enquiry about “How long did your child take to get off the ventilator?”. There were some very interesting comparisons.
Went back in the afternoon and Max was very unsettled. Finally they got him reasonably calm, after some suction, turning him, a nappy change, the dummy, and a dose of chloral.
He had a visit from a friend of ours – Wendy. She was fantastic (and has been throughout this journey). Stayed quite a while and was wonderful throughout. She left us a lovely gift, and a fantastic casserole & cake!
Max was also visited by his Chocha Sofie and cousin Samantha, as they try to do on a Wednesday (but last Wednesday was a horrible one, so it’s been a couple of weeks since they’ve seen him).
