£3

No, no, no, not £3, don't be silly Mummy... 3lbs!!!!! I'm 3.02lbs to be exact. I put on 10g's last night and 40g's tonight. I just had to make it because I was teetering on the edge for ages. I've even pooped three times today!

I'm on 12ml's of milk still, but this will go up as my weight goes up. The nurses think that I'll be on hourly feeds pretty soon, but it might have something to do with the oxygen flow reducing, so we'll see won't we - maybe next week...

There was talk about a lumbar puncture today, but they didn't do one. It's likely to be done tonight or in the morning. It's difficult to find out exactly what they're looking for; an answer to what this bugger is (oops, I mean bug is) in my body and perhaps a check at a couple of other things. Mummy's worried about a needle going in my back, but I've had one before... it's OK Mummy, I'll be OK, I'll be brave and all you'll see is a little round elastoplast on my back which will look huge in comparison to me! You've told me that I'll have to go through lots of uncomfortable things that the doctors and nurses will do, so I'm prepared Mummy. She's also worried about what they're looking for and what they'll find... that I don't know though I'm afraid.

In fact I am a bit afraid, it's scary for me as well as it is for Daddy and Mummy, I'm getting to know them a bit better and that means that I'm getting to love them more, which means that I don't want to leave them and I hate it when they leave me. But we'll all stroll on...
