Molly - Day 25 - 16th Sept 2008

Today Molly is demanding 80ml per feed! GO MOLLY! She has gained a further 160g in the last 4 days which means she is now 2000 grams = 4Ib 7oz (ish). The hospital has started to draw up her discharge papers. All is looking good for a Thursday checkout :-)

Molly - Day 24 - 15th Sept 2008

We had a constructive chat with the Hospital today regarding MRSA on their ward, which was interesting. Molly is oblivious to it all, and her food has increased to 70ml feed. Mollys eye infection is clearing up even though she and her eye are both still testing positive for MRSA. Also Molly pulled out her Gastric Tube for the second day running so they decided to leave it out and consequently they have changed her to on demand feeding. For the first time in 24 days we can see her face without a tube up her nose and stuck to her cheek. She’s very content, the doctors are very happy with her progress and have said, if she keeps this up, she will be home in 2 days.
** PARTY **

Wave your hands in the air like you just dont care :-)



Molly - Day 23 - 14th Sept 2008
Today Molly’s eye is still sticky and when we arrive in hospital its quite often stuck together. As she has gained weight, Molly’s name tags around her ankles were getting tight, tonight she had them changed.



Molly - Day 22 - 13th Sept 2008

Today Molly is polishing off all of her food without using the tube which is excellent. Her MSRA positive eye infection is still looking sticky and receiving antibiotic eye drops. She is looking physically bigger to the eye now she is starting to put on weight :-)
