Dr Egner did a blood gas and found that Corgan is aneamic. He also took a blood sample to cross match blood for a blood transfusion. He increased the feed to 30ml/hr and Corgan can start breast feeding after the blood trasfusion! I was very excited of course. Dr Egner inserted a new short-line drip - Corgan got upset and cried. Corgan now weighs 1.23kg. Shane did KFC with Corgan. When we got back to the hospital this evening, Corgan was midway through his blood transfusion. Nokuthula took over from Welile for the night shift. After the transfusion I breastfed Corgan for the first time and he did very well - he had about ten sucks of each breast and still wanted more. Everyone was very happy. I think a lot of people did not think he could do it yet...
