Gemma is settling in really well at home and enjoying her new room and surroundings.  Every day things feel a little bit easier and our confidence level increases. 

Gemma has had a few desats since being home requiring IPPV (using her resus. bagger) but luckily we seem to be sorting out what is triggering her.  It is scary having it happen at home but we know how to help her and just do it.

It is wonderful being able to have Gemma enjoy her room with all of her things, at the hospital we couldn't easily play with Gemma, especially on the floor or sit her in a comfortable chair.  At home we have a physio mat, a comfortable glider, a bouncy chair, toys and other things that she can enjoy. 

Gemma's birthday is coming up in February and we are looking forward to planning her birthday party!!
