A great day today....
After our little battle of wills on Monday I can report that Mrs Chaffin was indeed the victor! Briony finally succumbed and fed at around 4.30pm. Yesterday and today there has been no looking back - she has even put on weight which we weren't expecting (neither were the nurses to be fair) following the change.
Like the Chilean miners, there is now light at the end of the tunnel. The big news of the day is that we have a discharge date! Well 2 dates to be exact. It will either be next Thursday or the following Wednesday depending on when the oxygen contractors can swing by our place and install all the kit that Briony will need. Briony's second set of immunisations will be on Tuesday next week so they need to just make sure that she is OK following those. Cue rushing around in Mothercare buying all the bits and pieces that I thought I had got a while to buy. Stephen and I are both hugely excited as we have waited so long for this moment!
Everything else seems mediocre in comparison....but I did my first bath on my own with her today which was a little daunting and required lots of organisation. We now also finally have broadband at home, despite the fact that I spend every waking hour at the hospital. Thank you everyone for all your text/email messages - my apologies if I haven't replied to all of them. Suffice it to say that it is now 11pm and I have just had my dinner and then will be washing some baby-grows!
Hopefully tomorrow there will be more clarity around which of the discharge dates we are actually going for!
