20g weight loss today, so Briony is now on full fortifier with a warning to put weight on or they will have to try something else. Volume of feed has increased slightly from 6mls to 6.5mls every hour.
Her breathing is not as good today as it has been the last couple of days with Briony remaining settled on 26% oxygen, but sometimes needing up to 30% oxygen at times.
Mummy and Daddy didn't spend too much time with her today as due to the poor weight gain (or should that be weight loss?) she is now on a minimal handling regime which means that she can only be touched during her cares (i.e. nappy change) and isn't allowed out of the incubator until she starts to show a more sustained weight gain that they are happy with. No visitors today other than Mummy and Daddy.
Daddy drove to Devon and back this morning to buy a car.....with the result that Briony now has a choice of cars between a BMW and a Land Rover Defender!
For the first time since she was born Mummy won't be visiting tomorrow as she desperately needs to do some revision for her exams in a few weeks time, so tomorrow's blog will be down to Daddy....
