Charlie is much better and Cathryn has been told that they should be able to come home tomorrow. Charlie passed his hearing test today (the same test that Oliver initially failed and gave us a couple of days of worry). He has become very slightly Jaundiced but the nurses say it is nothing to worry about.
However, things have got harder as Oliver has been diagnosed with Chicken Pox! He had a couple of spots yesterday and we kept him away from Charlie as a precaution but I took him to the out of hours doctor today who confirmed our fears and told me that Oliver cannot go to the hospital to see his mum or new brother! Charlie was born with some immunity for a short period (as Cathryn had Chicken Pox as a child) and will be safe from this outbreak but obviously there may be some babies on the ward that do not have this immunity and therefore Oliver must stay away. Cathryn is really missing him. Friends and family have been really good and I have managed to get Oliver looked after very easily so I can visit the hosptial - thanks to Linda, Fred, Lisa & Garry for their help.
Oliver does not appear off colour, and apart from a couple of spots/blisters on his neck you would not know there was anything wrong with him.
