Thanks for your lovely reply Kelli,

It truly is amazing, and I hope that when Emily is 31 she will have a lot of pride and curiosity about her early beginnings as a prem.

She is doing fabulously - the only thing keeping her from coming home now is needing to establish all suck feeds - she is still mainly tube-fed EBM, and is practising breastfeeding every day. Other than that, she is just like a full-term newborn. It is so nice that we are now able to give her loads of cuddles as early on handling her was quite restricted.
