Yesterday was pretty much the same again....
They are going to give her another transfusion, but need some blood from me first (?!), not really quite sure how that works. Oxygen requirements are still up and down, so they don't want her working too hard, so think another transfusion is for the best. Equally, apparently there is a small risk of them dampening down her own product of red blood cells if they give it, so it is a bit of a balancing act, but given that her breathing is becoming a little more laboured they feel it is for the best.
Stephen went over to visit yesterday afternoon and apparently she was properly crying for the first time, which upset him a bit as there was nothing really that he could do!
We have also achieved our aim with her name - Briony didn't feature in the top 40 names last year!
Tomorrow is the big weigh in - Stephen and I have bets on how much she will weigh, although I'm not sure what the stake is! For the record, I think 1096g and Stephen thinks 1104g.....We were looking back at the earlier photos of her yesterday and she has definitely put on weight on her arms and legs - it looks like she has now "grown into" her skin, rather than it being all wrinkly!
