Day 5

No photo today. Why? Jack woke me up at 6am this morning with the sound of him puking into his bed. Poor little boy had picked up a bug going around at school and was really poorly this morning. The bug is clearly very contagious, so no visits to Annabel or to Kim for Jack for 48 hours, and none for me for 24 hours assuming that I don’t become sick. Bummer.
Fortunately Kim’s mum and dad came down to visit today and are staying overnight, and Kim had been really looking forward to seeing them both all week. They spent time with them both today.
Jack was feeling and looking much better this afternoon, but has been on a diet of toast and water today. I hope he has dried out by the morning. The weekend’s plans are back in flux. Kim was likely to come home this weekend, but that has been put back until Monday at least.
The news from intensive care is that Annabel is hooked up to fewer and fewer tubes, as she has been taking well to mum’s milk through her gastric tube. Her glucose drip has been removed, she is on and off extra oxygen, and her cannula was taken out this afternoon. So far she has progressed pretty well, I reckon.
