I’m disappointed to learn this morning he hasn’t gained any weight since Tuesday and some of his other health issues are unresolved. 😥

Thank you MDW. He’s still needing some tube feeding, so will be a bit longer I’m afraid. Thanks for your good wishes

Hi Nikk. How is your ankle? I’m definitely much better. No sleeps during the day yesterday as I went through for the hospital visit. The little one is looking much better, imo - more like a full time baby but still needing some tube feeding, so can’t go home. He’s now recovered from the infection.

I do enjoy curried goat - first experienced as street food in Notting Hill during carnival. Was it easy to source the goat meat?
My friend of Jamaican heritage says curried goat is often mutton. I curious about your approach

Good Morning Caroline and SORCs. Visited daughter and babe in hospital yesterday. Thursday was 21 days since he was born - daughter was in before that and desperate for them both to be able to get home. Hoping to see other daughter and grandson later today. I hope all your plans are fulfilled
