Oliver





Oliver is doing just great. The consultant gave the all clear last night. Every thing that should be working at this stage is working - he has just been taken off all moniters. He is feeding three hourly, which given that he is Sam's son, is to be expected. We are so pleased and relieved!

I shot these photos around tea time last night - the flash was irritating Oliver a bit so I attempted some shots in the low light - I'm quite pleased with the result. The neo natal intensive unit is a remarkably tranquil place (when there isn't a crisis) and these photos seem to have picked up the mood.

Thanks for sharing these Martin, and for the updates about Oliver's progress. It helps me to pray with more focus.

And congratulations to two doting grandparents.

[NB. it seems that 'doting' has two meanings: 1. excessively fond, as in doting parents; and 2. showing a decline of mental faculties, esp. associated with old age; weak-minded; senile.]

Thanks Jason - hmmm, we hope it is #1, but being realistic, there is a lot of #2 around at the moment! Cheers
