Monday - Recovery

Barbara has had very little sleep again. Each 8 hours sees a change of nursing teams and inevitably they want to examine the babies for themselves waking them up and waking Barbara up. The babies must be weighed regualarly and have their temperature taken which they don't like.

They use a heel stik to extract blood to determine their blood sugar, which they really hate.

The first 24 hours they did not eat at all, and the lactation nurse came to show us how to breast feed and feed using a finger with a small tube attached to a syringe with formula.

We had a couple of visitors and our Dulla, Benedicta came by to enjoy the babies and give Barbara a healing. Our nurse is also a healer and hung out in the room for hours after everyone left talking and working with Barbara. She is exhausted, but "wired".
