Are they good here? Do the nurses advocate for you? Or am I going to have to fight for her every step of the way? I'm slowly running out of fight.

They think she has NEC. She was doing so well, I can't believe it.

I'm on my phone, just waiting with DP. I need some hope. She was baptised today so I know I'm not in a good place.

Really good to hear the fantastic update. It sounds like Gen is really fighting hard.
And thanks for the Wine but I guessed Badnails just needed a bit of cheering up, which thankfully it did :)

Keep focusing on those numbers if it helps the time pass.
I'm sure I will see you one day very soon for that Brew

How it going Badnails? Is Genevieve doing what I told her? Smile

MABS · 24/01/2012 11:30

how are you both doing today? x

BadNails · 24/01/2012 12:15

Hello, thanks for the continued support! It is good for the soul to read your messages :) I'm really not much of a hippy/spiritual type in rl, but the good vibes are helping.

Big day yesterday - Gen is off the vent and on optiflow and has spent most of the last 12 hours in air! She's off the morphine and the other sedative drug and her last known crp was 33? Possibly 36 Confused I'm clearly exhausted!

We just had our first cuddle in a week. Can't tell you how good it felt. Bit like this..Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Thanks

Fingers crossed we're over the worst now.

Thanks so much for taking the time to update us, this is fantastic news, she sounds a very strong little girl. Hope she is home soon she will be a very stubborn toddler Grin

HathorInARedDress · 24/01/2012 13:19

God help you when she's 15. The fights will be epic Grin she is made of stern stuff.

Somehow missed this. What a rotten time you've had Badnails, but I bet the cuddles are making up for it now! Smile

Mumsnet at it's best.
