Did you think from last two days of photos that what I do is just sleep. No, I am working hard and fighting with the bugs inside my body. Unfortunately I had lost the initial battle. I am infected again. With last five days of anti-biotics course and forced hunger, I was feeling good. Last night daddy went happy that my infection episode was over. Today he was for a shock. This morning I had many de-sats. Desats mean that the oxygen saturation levels in my blood dropped. De-sats are first indication that something is not right. All the checks and tests were done immediately and it was found that my infection markers are high again. Alarm bells rang and I knew what to expect. My feed back to nil. Back to total TPN.
It seems the bug survived through the anti-biotics course and once that was stopped it resurfaced. Doctors had now changed my anti-biotics to target wider range of bugs. But my main concern is that I will be forced on hunger for further five days.
I was also due for my guthrie test today - this is to check for a metabolic imbalance. It's something all newborn babies have done apparently. It is done and now I am awaiting on the results.
With all this going on inside my body I was quite lazy.

Hi Ujjwal,
I can't believe you've got another infection. You've got to fight it hard to get rid of it.I was on antibiotics for a whole month before my infection went, so just keep persevering, and I'm sure it will go eventually. Just keep your eye on your due date. The 22nd September is not far away, and you want to be home with mummy, daddy and Jasmine by then. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you.
love
