Just coming back from King Eddy and a Mumma-plus-Dadda visit for Lucy. She continues to track OK without being spectacular - Desat episodes are slowly becoming less frequent and her feeds are up to a juicy 6 mL/hour. Lucy also had her second go at breathing without the ventilator yesterday afternoon, performing fantastically well for the first 5 minutes before she tired and required an oxygen increase. Still, she managed 2 hours off the ventilator which is a small yet significant step in the weening process. Without wanting to jinx anything, we're also hopeful that by next weekend she'll crack the 1-kg club. Today she weighed in at 930 grams, so she's a lot closer to 4 figures than her birth weight of 690. Better put the champers on ice just in case!
