930g!

Corgan had a very good night. Gervais was very happy. Corgan now weighs 930 grams. Silindile took over in the morning to our relief - I was not looking forward to the sister from yesterday again! His oxygen was down from 30% to about 25%. Silindile gave Corgan a wet cotton wool ball cleaning and she replaced all his probes. We saw his chest for the first time...it looks a bit bruised...When she removed his drip we heard his first loud cry which lasted just a breath and I got all teary eyed too - imagine waiting almost 2 months to hear your baby cry!! Doctor Roos came into the ward to say hello - he is taking over from Doctor Egner over the weekend. Then Doctor Egner came...he was very happy with Corgan's performance. He said his skin colour was looking good too. He changed the feed to 6ml/hr. On his way out of the hospital Doctor Egner saw Shane and told him that he was optimistic this time and hoped that Corgan would not pick up an infection this time round. When we went back to the hospital Silindile let me do some Kangaroo Mother Care with Corgan.
