It's been quite a stressful few days here in what should have been a joyful occasion, meet our new little grandson.
He had quite a struggle being born resulting in him needing to go to intensive care where he was kept cold for 72 hours to help his brain. We were told he had stopped breathing for several minutes which was a great worry.
He needed to be warmed up for 12 hours and watched to make sure all was ok. Here he is taking his first look round at this strange world he'd come into. He then got an infection which didn't respond to the antibiotics and a Covid19 test was done. Another couple of days of anxious waiting.
All was clear and the infection started to come down so after nearly a week his parents were finally able to hold him.
Having been told he would be in hospital for several weeks he started to feed well, hearing and eyes were fine and an MRI scan came back with nothing to worry about. Our little miracle was allowed home after just a week in hospital.
With all the Covid19 worry being everyone's main priority it's amazing how our NHS is still coping with other emergencies so wonderfully. We are lucky to have them.
