more of Isla

More pics of Isla as requested by Aunty Sue...... here is Isla in the isolette under phototherapy for her jaundice. Take note of the little eye mask that she has to wear to protect her eyes. She didn't like being there as none of us would like it either.


She has now finished under the lights and has been transfered to special care nursery 1, which the nurses tell me is referred to as the fat farm! This is very good since it means she is doing extremely well. We are now allowed to dress her in little clothes, but here she is in one of the hospital dresses.



Kangaroo Care - As part of Isla's treatment, Dunk and I must give her Kangaroo Care, which is where we cuddle her skin to skin for an hour or two. We just love this special time together since it satisfies so many of our needs and hers.
