Thank you.
We have had an ordeal of a first three weeks. Max was not quite right from day zero, nothing in particular just not right. Day 5 we got amditted for 36 hours due to jaundice and poor feeding, got him to an acceptable feedimg schedule so sent home. Day 15 he stopped feeding all together after 14 days of battling every feed. Got admitted 11pm at night on day 15 and finally got released today on day 23. After tests, including a lumbar puncture, turns out he had a nasty infection in his blood. A ng tube, fluids and Three cannulas later, on a baby who was even harder than normal to get them in, we are nearly finished on a 10 day course of antibiotics. He is now feeding properly and alert and happy to be held and like a normal baby that he had not been until this point.
Very very thankful for our local childrens unit for putting all the subtle symptoms together and realising something wasn't right and properly investigating as we could easily have had a different outcome. Also worth saying to always trust your instincts.
Now to fix chelsea-grace's chest infection!
