Subject : Isabelle is poorly

Hi
We saw the doctor this morning and were told she's got an infection. theyre waitin for the blood cultures to come back to find out what kind of infection. She is also anaemic and they are giving her a blood transfusion this afternoon, They took her off the CPAP to weigh her ( good news is she is 2lb 8oz now) but she was struggling so she's now back on it.

I feel helpless at the moment as there's nothing I can do, except stroke her little hands and face and talk to her. I miss my wide eyed princess lol.

oh goodness - I have everything crossed for you and your Lo! Hopefully the blood transfusion will help and once the cultures are back things will be clearer!

Much love heading to you all X

OH no.... If the power of lots of people willing her to do well is anything to go on then, I am sure she will fight this and like Elise will be home soon.

You have been throug so much and I really hope you get a break and that she starts to improve for you.

Thanks
well we went in this evening and she was looking a better colour after her blood transfusion. she kept openig and closing her eyes ( first time since Sat) and kept kicking the blanket off.
think our little princess has got her fighting spirit back :) They are going to take her off CPAP for short periods overnight.
thanks for all your support xxx
