Hi everyone,
Gemma is 11 days old today. 

Her vitals had been fairly unstable over the last few days but luckily they have come back to a 'normal' rate.

Yesterday I got to have some 'cuddle time', which is where they put her pad on my lap and it was the closest thing to getting to hold her, it was wonderful!

Gemma's morphine dose has come down and hopefully they will take her off soon so that she can be less sedated and be able to do some breathing on her own.

Gemma's feeds have increased and she is tolerating them well, she might be on 'full feeds' by the end of the week (which means that her IV can come out). The test results were supposed to be back today that we were anxiously awaiting but now they are telling us that it will be another few weeks!

We are taking everything day by day, there are highs and lows but we are remaining positive and hopeful. Thank you for your ongoing thoughts and prayers.

Love Amanda, Charlie & baby Gemma
