We've just got in from the hospital following Phoebe's 6 week (since leaving SCBU) check-up. All went well and the consultant was pleased with her growth and progress. She now weighs 8 Lb 6 Oz, which is superb! We then called in to see Lydia and she was having her heart scan done. The registrar was pleased with this and also confirmed her chest x-ray and ECG scans were good as well! She is also putting on weight and is guzzling her milk from a bottle - there's just no stopping her - she is making up for lost time/feeds!! They are currently arranging an outpaitients appointment for her to see a plastic surgeon from a hospital in Swansea about her arm. She is having her remaining stitches out later this afternoon (from where her chest drain had been) and the plan is for her to COME HOME ON MONDAY!!!! We just can't wait to finally have her home. It will be exactly 12 weeks since she was born on Monday! We thank God for bringing her through the past 12 weeks and we're so appreciative for all your thoughts, prayers and practical support! Hopefully there will be more positive updates on the blog over the coming weeks as we continue to track the expoloits of the Bodger tribe!
Sam & Daniel chose some wrist bands from a bookshop earlier this week which say "God Strong" on them. This refers to a verse in the Bible from Ephesians 6v10 which says "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power", and I must say that this is something we have all been experiencing first hand over the past few months! Report more as it happens...
