NEWS UPDATE

Home Coming Delayed!
Ian didn't fair too well on Monday. So many changes were made to his 'routine' which included putting him in a room with Barbara and I and a formula change that he didn't respond well at all to this sudden sequence of new events. This resulted in the Doctors asking that we stay over at the hopsital for another night and that Ian be monitored again with a review of his food intake and weight gain measured over 24 hours before he be given the all clear to leave. His weight only stayed as it was and anything less may have put us back even more. As I write tonight I can report that Ian has had an excellent afternoon of sleeping and eating. Barbara and I have gone back-to-back with skin-to-skin care which he reponds so well to in hopes that this settles him back into a new routine that will be readily seen by the Doctors on Tuesday. So, leave the Champers on ice as we will be drinking it real soon! Here's to better news later ..........
