Tristan's NICU/SCN Journey

**Early Kids** · June 24th, 2009, 01:58 PM

Well...

Northam have a bed and they are holding it for us. They finally put Tristan under the lights yesterday morning, he came off them this morning.

The only thing 'wrong' with him is the Jaundice. He is sucking all feeds (I'm doing 5 breast feeds and 7 expressions everyday)

They took the monitor off this morning too.

I'm just annoyed that Northam, a maternity hospital, can't deal with a case of jaundice. There is absolutely nothing else wrong with him!

That is excellent Sally. Tristan is doing really well. We're all proud of him.

I'm suprised that a maternity hospital closer to home can't handle jaundice. Jaundice is nothing to be afraid of.

Sending you plenty of milk vibes

So happy for you Sal.

I'm very impressed at the notes you've been taking hun!!! I wish I had your skills in that dept!

All the best to get you back to Northam with your support network!!

Thanks girls.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. If his Bilirubin levels have come down again we are out of here! If not then I'm going to scream LOL.

It's just so frustrating that we are soooooo close and yet still so far...

This is all such great news Sally. I am so glad Tristan's experience is completely different to Brendan's!!

I am just so happy for you. You'll get there and you'll have him home with you before you know it.
