Tube Feeding

Your Gong Gong, Er-Yi and Xiao-Yi giving you support! Your Gong Gong and Po Po are there almost everyday....

Your Daddy talking to you...
Little Warrior back on the ventilator. Take your time darling, one day you will be off the ventilator.

Go Go Darling,

Today, the nurses started tube feeding you with 5ml formula @10am. Mommy and Daddy rushed down @130pm to give you some of mommy's milk for the next few feeds. We are all praying that you will tolerate the tube feeding well this time.

For the 10am and 130pm feed, your aspirates were good the nurses say. Pray that the next few feeds will continue this way.

You opened your eyes when daddy and mommy visted you today. Daddy read a book about breathing to you while mommy massaged you. You enjoyed daddy's reading very much and daddy made a pact that he will read to you everyday. You are daddy's boy :)

Your great-grand ma, grand uncle and grand aunt-inlaw visited you today as well. Great grand ma was very happy to see that you were moving your shoulders and opening your eyes. That made her very happy and she's all ready to visit Hai nan island on 9 Dec, Wed.

Go Go, mommy wants you to know that you and our whole family are so so blessed because we have an extended family who cares so much about us. We also have good friends who really cares alot about us. Tong Hong auntie, Irene auntie, your Nai Nai, etc etc etc .... God really blesses us in many ways....

On our way to SGH today, mommy say alot of beautiful trees lining the entrance to SGH block 5 and mommy pray that one day, we can bring you out of the NICU and let you enjoy the beautiful trees and birds, which God has created. Praise God!

Mommy received a reply from Dr H, recommended from Aunties Lily and Tong Hong. He recommended some massage for you which mommy is going to try immediately later on. Wait for mommy before you sleep for tonight!

PS - your weight has increased to 2.160kg! :)

Prayers for today:
- that you will tolerate the tube feeding well;
- that your breathing will improve and that you can move off the ventilator very soon
- your chest wall & swallowing muscles will improve
- that the genetic testing results will be negative
- your overall muscle will improve

I love you so much my darling.
