Well, as many of you know now, Jaan is not very well. He's in hospital under observation - no need to panic just yet!
I'll try and update the blog so Jaan's loved ones can keep abreast of his progress (I think I can do it by text or at least at the hospital on the console by my bed). We love him so much, and he is such a good, brave, wonderful baby - he is coping so well with all the tests and being in hospital.
The real tests and monitoring start today/Monday. Basically he has a few issues with his kidneys - it is too soon to tell if it is a serious issue needing lots of treatment, or if it is just something to keep an eye on just in case.
Of course we hope he is just fine, and hope to take him home again in a week or so, till ten, we are stuck in the PICU at Addenbrookes. Luckily that is just 5 munutes from my parents' house! SO we have a nice place to shower, eat, sleep - not that we leave the hospital much!
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers - he needs everyone's good vibes!!
Please don't phone us though as we don't like to leave him to check voicemail, and we are not at home at all. Plus, phone calls mean we have to leave hospital to charge our phones! Please do text us, email us and Facebook us - we are so happy to have him, are so proud of him, and so in love with him, but it is also so hard to watch him in hospital, so hard to feed him, rest, take care of myself as well ...
The Good News is:
- He is feeding beautifully - an excellent feeder. He is being breastfed exclusively.
- He is very happy and content.
- He wees and poos just fine - that is a very good sign.
- He is in no pain.
- He plays, looks around, watches us, 'reads' his shapes book - photos soon!
Much Love
Nadiya (and Iain)
