Infinity, I just read your story and it brought tears to my eyes!
Sending HUGE HUGS out to you and your hubby!
Your little girl is such a fighter! She's beating everything that's thrown into her path and coming back stronger than ever! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have her BFing like a trooper and home where she belongs very soon!

Liviam honey, thank you so much for your offer to send the bandaid thingys to me - thankfully with some paw paw cream, 'the larger flange for my pump and some careful boob positioning I have almost healed the crack! YAY!
Very happy to report that DD is continuing to improve. She is now off CPAP and back to high-flow which means she is doing most of her breathing all on her own again. And she loves it! The CPAP is really quite cumbersome for the tiny little babes around their head & face and she was getting quite restless yesterday so they thought they'd try her out to see how she would cope. The little darling is so much happier and has barely required any additional oxygen today which is still astonishing for me. Last week she was sometimes up in between 30-40%!
More cuddles today, we sat together for almost 2 hours this arvo, her asleep and snuggling in the whole time! She's looking so much better, its really quite amazing given how sick she's been. And weight is up to 1630grams! WOOT! What a chubba.
Thank you again for all your love & support. I'm still feeling quite fragile about things but less on a knife-edge this week thankfully. Here's to more positive weeks ahead.

Such wonderful wonderful news Infinity - two hours of cuddles!! and 1630grams is absolutely awesome. You are both doing so well.... She has come such a long way. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before you can start to think towards the day when you will get to take her home with you.
She is an amazing little girl! I am so so happy to hear of your cuddles - those cuddles are THE most precious. Thinking of you both. xxx

Oh wow, she must be looking so good at that weight!!! So glad you are getting beautiful long cuddles, they are SO SO precious. Enjoy them hun, cos it's never the same once you bring bubba homeI'm sure you feel amazing after the snuggles, I know I always felt so relaxed and content. I can't really find a word to describe how good I felt, that flow of oxytocin is amazing.
I'm so so pleased to hear that Heidi is progressing well once againAnd good on you for working so hard at the expressing. I'm sure you know what a difference your BM will have made with how she coped with the NEC. And it's obviously doing wonders for her weight gain!!! Well done babe xoxo
