The surgery went really well... George is being the little trooper that he is. They had fears that he might stop breathing after the anaesthetic, due to his prematurity (they say its common), but he was fine. Having said that, we had a rough night in the hospital, the bed was way too big, and I couldnt tuck him in tight so he did a lot of wriggling waking himself (and me) up.
Needless to say, he is doing fine, and I am absolutely dead!! I just tried to have a nap, but I'm in and out of sleep and really struggling.
We are thinking about making plans to either send George to my mum's for a night or for me to go there, just to get a night's sleep. It's almost been 5 weeks since he's been home, and that long without a good night's sleep is shocking.
We are keen to get him back on his routine, and self-settling asap - for all our sakes!
Catherine - sounds like fun, enjoy!!
Buzzie - I was using Infacol for a while and it helped... I have stopped it now, and he burps well on his own, but he has been throwing more lately.
Fuzzy - it's totally fine to be nervous. Just remember that you have been doing a great job so far and it'll be no different when you're on your own. There is always someone 1 phone call away.
Thank you so much everyone for you thoughts and well wishes!!
