First proper Kangaroo snuggles


Aaah.... 
First proper Kangaroo snuggles at 2 1/2 days old, 1 1/2 days post surgery.

After a day resting post surgery, today Clem is doing so well they have removed his ventilator, he's breathing completely on his own again, and was ready for his first proper fall-asleep-on-my-chest Kangaroo cuddle. Magical. 

Mike and I were very grateful to lovely friends who came today, brought us delicious home-cooked food, and took Lena on an adventure so we could focus on spending more time with Clem.

His repaired bowel still needs time to recover so I have started pumping and freezing to build my supply for when he's ready. It's still early days but at the moment everything's looking positive. 
Responding to all messages individually probably won't be possible at the moment but know that we truly appreciate all the kind thoughts and support.
