Hi all,
I'm so sorry for the delay in updating, days just fly here & yet seem to stay still.
Baby James is nothing short of a little fighter. He is now managing on a 10 hours off, 2 on Cpap ventilation cycle. He gets tired during the tenth hour but his blood gases say he's managing fine. Clever little lungs. He also gets very grumpy when he has to go back on, not that I blame him!
Feed wise he's really picked up. He's up to 10mls every 3 hours, increasing by 1ml whilst he tolorates. BIG NEWS today as well...he got to breast feed for the first time. He didn't entirely understand but is trying. It was beautiful to partake in something natural and bonding with my little boy. It was an incredible moment & one I shall never forget.
Now for BIG NEWS number 2, James has been promoted. He was moved down from Intensive Care to High Dependancy. Yipee!!
Anyway it's been a good few days although we catch ourselves & are careful to get excited! Thank you again for all your prayers & support!
Please pray for another CDH baby who arrived this morning. She is yet to be named but is beautiful!
Thanks again.
Mummy Beth xx

Hi Guys,
James looks absolutely gorgeous in the latest picture, what a fantastic smile. He's changed so much since the last pictures you posted. Seems like hte only way is up with James, he really has been a great little fighter. I can't wait to show Emily the picture when she comes home from school. Keep up the fantastic work James, and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
Lots of love Suexxxxxxx

What fabulous news. I'm so sorry I've been out of touch. Dealing with an infant and a 7 year old at home and one in the NICU is pretty demanding. I'm so proud of James and his fight. You must be thrilled. Not too much longer til he's released, huh? Still praying!!!
Much love,

So glad to hear that little James is doing so well. Congratulations for the promotion, I can only imagine how thrilled you are. We are thinking about you and hoping that James continues to do well.
James is so adorable! I am praying for you little one. Glad to hear he is out of ICU. Praying he continues to get stronger.
What a lovely smile James has. He looks really happy. We are so pleased he is progressing so well. Good luck with the breast feeding.
Best wishes from Glenis,Barry and Lizzie
