Learning to Eat!

Oliver has not inherited Mum's propensity to eat - and has lost too much weight which has prompted the GP to become worried and send us back to NICU for tests and more tests over the last week and this coming week.

An unpleasant sense of de je vu walking into NICUfor Oliver to be weighed!







The upside was that Granny and Grandpapa stayed in Newcastle for an extra few days to teach Oliver how to eat properly. It was absolutely fantastic to have granny around and she seems to have done the trick. Oliver has learnt to swallow properly and seems to have increased his milk and so far fingers crossed everything is working properly.

Oliver also has succeeded in twirling his grandparents around his little finger.....










This last photo is a glimpse of interactions to come...we can just see Oliver thinking "Can I get away with this - I think I might as I am quite adorable!"


Thanks so much Granny and Grandpapa we would never have managed the last week without you.

This week Oliver has some more blood tests, scans and a visit to the feeding clinic to make sure he is eating properly and nothing else scary is happening....we are sure everything is okay but a few prayers will not go astray!
