Alfie Jack Progress







I've just posted this very quickly while I'm at home collecting stuff to take to hospital, the full story of this amazing journey with the happy ending will follow later. It feels like a miracle!

The long and the short of it is that Alfie has made really good progress since coming off the "cooling" trial which had him shivering and living in a hibernation state. Once slowly warmed he became pinker and pinker to become the breast feeding baby we see today. He now has fewer leads and has a cot rather than an incubator. We're hoping the he will be downgraded to level two intensive care very soon... and then spend some time with us on the ward... before coming home (which we can wait for!)

He has more tests on Thursday 10am which are part of the ice trial before don't have a better idea of time scales than that. Each day at a time....

... thanks so much for all messages of love and support. They are all so very much appreciated and give us tremendous strength.

Better go I've got a baby to bath!
