I know everyone likes regular updates but we moved house on Nov 28th and have been living at my aunts house since then as the new place has needed a lot of renovation.
The stress of it is sending me a bit loopy, we cant wait to get settled in, HOPEFULLY BEFORE CHRISTMAS!
Theo is doing really well, it is a pleasure to report back. Finally everyone seems content to give him breastmilk again so all my efforts have been worthwhile. Sadly, the rate at which he is consuming it far outreaches my diminishing supply so the frozen reserves are going to last about 3 weeks! To think I've been doing it for 5 months!!
He is growing and meeting milestones and the physios/play therapists/occupational therapists are very happy with him. His last echocardiogram showed some definite improvement in his heart function - this is incredibly good news - if it continues, he may NOT NEED any heart ops.
We have a Multi-Disciplinary Team meeting on Friday - this is where everyone who is responsible for him, from heart to speech and language, nurses and outside social workers etc etc all meet and plan what needs to happen before he can come home. It is still anticipated to be March, so this gives us 3 months of planning and targets, and being ready at home. Lots of training for us!!!
Will do photos asap, just cant use own computer at the moment so cant download. He is gorgeous though and gaining weight at a healthy rate.

Oh wow! Sounds like Theo is making fantastic progress, got everything crossed that it continues! Any chance of him trying to suckle any time soon, to help you with your supply, or is that still a long way off? (please excuse my ignorance if that's a really stupid question!)
Take care all, and hope the house gets sorted soon, if you need any help just shout, more than happy to help if I can xx
wow! fantastic news! really really great news about his progress!
hope you get to enjoy your new house with the full family at home soon!
take care

Great to hear so much good news in one post! Really pleased it's going so well for Theo at the moment. Good luck with the move - I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end.
Lots of love,

So pleased he is doing well and that you have moved (sort of)take care and good luck with the rest of the move Catherine
Do you think you could cram a few more life changing events in before Christmas!
Hope Tabby and Sasha are coping with all the changes ok.
Great to see Theo in action. He looks so much better on the recent photos. We're all keeping our fingers crossed that his heart will continue to improve.
I think you've done amazingly well to express for 5 months - the ultimate super mum!
Look after yourselves too.
Lots of love, Sally and the rest of the Joneses too
