We took Jon to Charing Cross hospital yesterday to have a hearing test, following his dubious results in the hearing screening at Queen Charlotte’s.
It turns out he has normal hearing in his left ear (praise the Lord) and 70db to 90db loss in his right ear across the audible spectrum. This means that the [...]
It turns out that real (cloth) nappies have come a very long way since the terry squares that I remember folding at age 7 – 8 for my baby sister…
These days they come in a whole range of different designs, all of which are a lot less hassle than the ones I was thinking of, [...]
A week ago last Friday, we took Jonathan for his first post-natal visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children to discuss his cleft lip.
G.O.S. is a specialised children’s hospital which services the Greater London area and we count ourselves really lucky to have it as our default hospital.
With its location in central London, [...]
As of today, Jonathan’s 3 weeks old and we’ve had him home for two of those.

Quick note: Jonathan came home on Thursday evening. We’ve been keeping a pretty low profile since then as we establish feeding. But for those who are praying and wondering what the status is, we do want you to know he’s home and thank you for all your support.
Thanks too to everyone who has sent congratulations, [...]
I finally have a moment to post some pictures, but first the latest news. Julie is still at the hospital getting breast feeding worked out, and I’m running back and forth dealing with things at home and helping Julie to figure out the breast feeding.
As far as the doctors are concerned, Jonathan is now [...]
Lots has happened since the last blog posting. So much, in fact that we haven’t had time to update the blog.
Here’s a quick run-down:
Julie came home on Saturday.
Jonathan started coming off the CPAP machine on Sunday evening.
We attempted to breastfeed on Sunday evening while he was still on the CPAP machine, but with [...]
