FREDDIE MARK SAWYER IS HOME!!!!!!
Not much time to give you all the detail given that we have a tiny man in the house to look after (whoo!) Basically, on Thursday we were told that Freddie's blood tests had shown a risen infection level so they needed keep a close eye on him. We were gutted as last time that happened he ended up at the Royal hospital on a ventilator! However, yesterday the doctors told us that the infection he had was small and was from the central line that used to be in his groin. They said they were happy that Freddie was looking well and feeding well so were just going to do another blood test. The results from that test showed that the infection had gone and Freddie was fine.
We were told that all being well and as long as Freddie put a bit of weight on we would be able to either be discharged on Monday and just take Freddie for an appointment at QMC for administration purposes or if the doctors wanted him monitored some more he would be transferred to a bed an the neonatal ward at QMC.
We were quite happy with this give the day before we were thinking the worse and expecting to be told Freddie would have to stay in for much longer.
A couple of hours after getting home from the hospital yesterday I got a phone call to say that we could go and pick him up! Fair to say we were in a bit of shock! Apparently the consultants had decided that he was well enough to go home and fatten up their!
So here we are, we have to give him a couple of medicines and he is on a high energy formula but other than that he is acting like any normal tiny baby!
It hasn't really sunk in yet and to be honest we haven't really had time to get all emotional but I'm sure that will come!
I'm going to keep blogging with Freddie's progress whenever I get the chance.
Thanks again to everyone for their continued support, we'll never forget how wonderful people have been.
Goodbye children's ward!!
