All this for a child that was given a 30% chance of survival on arrival.
Progress yesterday;
- sustaining breathing without ventilation
- still alive!
- passing urine and stools
- moving arms and head
- aware of touch and movement
- crying (pressumably for food)
- continue to breathe
- be cleared to start receiving expresses milk
- maintains and adds weight
- healing for Mel to manage four hourly visits from home
Thank you to everyone for your support, flowers, cards, calls, sms's and offers to help with meals and minding the boys, who ask where their sister is every time we return from a visit and cannot understand why children are not allowed into ICU to meet their sister.
Neil helped us to make a short video of Savannah last night, so I am going to play it for the boys tomorrow when they wake up, so they can see their little sister for the first time.
Join with us as we " . fight the good fight, finish the race, keep the faith.. (2 Tim 4:5)
We sing Psalm 100 over you Savannah;
"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfullness continues through all generations." (NIV)
Much love
Sean & Mel
