Tues, 20th November

Thanks for all the lovely comments guys. Ashling will be very pleased with her popularity when she's able to read about the first month of her life!

Well the tubes are all out, Thank God! She is now chest drain, morphine and ventilator free, and her wound from the surgery is healing nicely. She is still on some pain relief and is using an oxygen support system. But they will hopefully be able to wean her off that over the next couple of weeks. Looking at her chest x-rays, it seems like her lung has started to inflate but it will take a wee while for her to be able to breathe properly on her own. She is exhausted after the whole ordeal of the last few days. So we are not allowed to take her out of her cot much but at least we can take her out at least once a day now. Not being able to cuddle her since her surgery last Wednesday was very hard! We were suffering major withdrawal symptoms!!!

  2. Hi Ger, Caroline and Baby Ashling
    Delighted to hear all the tubes have been taken away from baby Ashling, she is making great progress Thank God, she is such a little fighter. Hopefully it won't be long more before ye can take her out and give her lots of hugs and cuddles, when ye are able give her a big one from me. Hope you both are keeping well and not too exhausted, talk soon.
