It finally came!

Yes, Emilia's bag has officially been filled!  Hooray.  Our Dr greeted us with a beaming face and broke the news, it is a big relief.  Jens held her today.  She is doing well with no sign of infection.  If her progress continues she will be on the Cpap at the beginning of next week.  Being on the respirator is uncomfortable and she looked quite distressed today which is heartbreaking.  She was much calmer though when she came out to play.

I spent a lot of time with Eva today who is still having problems breathing when she gets food and poos.  While I was feeding her, her blood pressure dropped really low.  Usually the Nurses can fix it quite easily but not this time :(  A team of three doctors had to resuscitate her after she turned blue.  It was so awful!  The good thing is that she has had a really calm evening and we found out afterwards that it wasn't as serious as it looked.  As soon as her normal Dr came on the scene who knows her well and her specific problems calm was restored.  I have decided that from now on I am not going to watch these disturbing scenes, it is just too much.  I fed her twice after this without any problems and read her a story.  We have left her stable and cosy! :)

Emilia had a brain scan today and everything is developing as it should.  The small amount of bleeding that was present after the birth has gone.  Eva will be having hers tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Even though things are really up and down I have started to feel like our baby girls are going to make it.  The problems they are having are normal for premature babies and a phase they need to go through. We have pretty much decided which pram we are going to get and even test drove an estate car today.  Things are only going to get better for the Lindqvist family :)
