So we have had a mental few months, I had a baby who was prem and in NICU she is doing wonderfully well.
Then my DD7 who is a heart transplant patient caught sepsis.
I have an older DS13.
Due to visiting rules I was the only parent allowed with DD1 and DP only parent allowed with DD2.
We were going to be completely split in 2 over xmas and was so worried about DS.

Well today it’s been confirmed that DD2 will be discharged from NICU on Wednesday and DD1 who still requires IV antibiotics is stable enough to go home with them if I train over the next 3 days to give them she can come home on Xmas eve !!!!

It’s a bloody Xmas miracle ❤️❤️❤️

@StopSquirtingBleachOnCaneToads I was genuinely distraught, I couldn’t function properly I felt more terrible for for my elder son I have never not been there for his Xmas and birthday.
