Hello again @marymanning,

It is so good of you to keep Connect updated on Katie and Ollie. I'm sorry to hear that his platelets hafe dropped but optimistic that they will go up again when re-tested.

How are you doing with all of this stress?

His platelet count at 11:00 last night had come back up to 180,000 -- so they are looking forward to him being discharged from the NICU and into her room sometime today. She is still very sore -- mostly on her left side -- said she has heavy bruising but her doctor said that is because Ollie had gotten "wedged" and they had to do a lot of pushing to get him out. She told Katie that if she had continued with trying to deliver him naturally that he would have broken his clavicle during birth. So, all is well. . .right now.
