hi all just a quick update and a huge thankyou
thanks to everyone who has listened to all my moans and groans throughout this pregnancy you all deserve medals for putting up with me
the twins have finally been transferred this morning back to our original hospital they are both doing really well and are in the nursery section of SCBU which apparently is the last step before home although we still dont have a clue when that will be they have both had some minor problems but nothing long term
Owain had difficulties breathing when born and was on a cpap for a few days he is now all ok except he hasnt a clue how to suck so is still being fed through a nasal tube with a syringe and we are trying bottles once or twice a day other than that he is a little jaundiced but below treatment levels
Ryan was well at birth but developed a problem with blood sugars which has now settled down hes very jaundiced but still below treatment levels just about and at the moment is having trouble with platelet levels we dont know why so they are testing his blood daily and keeping an eye on them apparently they should be at least 150 his started at 101 rose to 111 then took a dive to 73 we were told if they dropped any lower he would be at risk of bleeding and would need a transfusion but they have now risen back up to 118 so its looking ok at the moment we are just hoping now that they continue to rise
i am now home and have been discharged although i have to have the community nurse in every day to dress my wound but its improving every day obviously i wont be on much at the moment as i will be spending most of my time at the hospital with the babies but will keep you all updated as much as i can
huge thanks to URCHIN for keeping everyone updated
and thanks to everyone for all your kind messages il be back soon xxxxxxxxx
