Today was just a relaxing day. The ward is pretty quiet, only 3 patients at the moment so it is nice and peaceful. Granny and Grandpa came to visit and then daddy came for a visit later on while Granny and Grandpa looked after Nicole.
Jason is looking and feeling good. He is so much better and it's great to see him smiling and happy again after so long. His temperatures have been fine. His pooing has been so much better, one bad one last night where we had to change the bedding but today only two poos and that is HUGE progress for us. Hopefully with this new formula Jason is actually absorbing it and will grow and gain weight. If he isn't pooing so much he should gain weight. The new formula he is on is called Neocate and one tin lasts about two days. It is really expensive, more than Nutrini Peptisorb that he was on but the most important thing is if it agrees with him he must be on it. I think it is imported and this is why it is so expensive. You can buy it at Dischem but I will have to shop around and see where I can get it at the best price.
Thank you to those people that have made deposits into my PayPal account. Once I receive the funds into my bank this money will pay for Jason's formula and is a HUGE help. 100 pounds is over R1,300.00 so the overseas funds help wonderfully and will go a long way. If anyone overseas would like to pay into my PayPal account click on the donate button below and you will be re-directed.
People are asking when we are going home well that I don't know myself, we need to sort out his chest still as he is still very chesty and needs physio, we need to make sure the feeds are right and we need to see what the urologist, Dr. P and the Prof say about the steps forward. I am prepared to stay here as long as it takes. I just want our little man happy and healthy and if that means us staying here another week or two. So be it!!
Time to rest my eyes now - sleeping is very interrupted in hospital so I try and have an afternoon sleep with Jason which is really nice. Today we both had a two hour nap together :-)
