I spent today with Julie and Jonathan.
Julie is walking around (slowly). Jonathan is still in the neonatal high dependency unit. They think he’s not making enough surfactant for his lungs. This should resolve itself fully in time, but until then they want to keep him on the CPAP machine.
We’ve been advised not to expect him to be released until at least Monday.
For those interested in more pictures, there is an album here.
It’s official, his name is Jonathan Henry Thomas Brazier. Thomas is in honour of my maternal grandfather who I sadly didn’t know well enough what with growing up in a different country. But a deep, strong man who I respected and loved greatly.
Julie is fine after the caesarean, but obviously not massively mobile and Jonathan is in the neonatal unit getting a little bit of help with his breathing. This is something that should sort itself out in time, hopefully soon. I wheeled Julie up to there yesterday afternoon and she was able to get a good look at our son and do some cuddling:
