at home with an Ivysaurus

By MoGrant

Choo choo!

This is ivy when asked to tidy up the trains shed taken off the table, recoupling all the carriages before putting them back on their tracks. Her birthday is soon and we've got a wooden train track from a charity shop stashed away for her. Hopefully she'll love it as much as the one in the children's ward.

Euan and ivy are in again for the weekend. Ivy was pleased to see her sisters this morning, she was really upset when she got told not to cuddle willow since she was asleep. Took her on a Tesco trip and she told me lots of interesting things including ' daddy loves mu...nope! Daddy loves somebody else' and 'ivys eyes broken' (I've checked with Euan, neither of us have told her her eyes are broken, so her new squint is clearly bothering her. She has a referral in to the raigmore eye clinic so hopefully that won't take too long). She also told me that she couldn't cuddle willow as Willow was too sick in hospital, she'd misunderstood why she couldn't cuddle willow today. I think she does remember some of our Aberdeen time when she couldn't touch willow.

Willow is up 50gr today, but is being just as ssick as on admission. Her new routine gives her a massive evening feed and a huge volume of medicines right in the middle of it so she is of course sick. And the feeds running so close together means she never wants to breastfeed. Euan and I are keen to see dietician on monday, Wed originally floated the idea of a continuous feed running overnight as that's when willow isn't sick- but as the Dietician doesn't want pump to run unsupervised overnight she's shifted it forward to evening when willow is very sicky. I don't think willow kept much of her
Mammoth evening feed or medicine down tonight. Not sure what solutions we have, I worked out tonight if the pump runs continually all day from 6am - 11pm it can only go a couple of ml/hr slower than what willow isn't tolerating just now. We need more hours in the day, someone nocturnal to come live with us or a Dietician more willing to allow overnight pumps
