SUCKER

Again, Lauren flew through the last hurdle with flying colours. Our poor little monkey was quite distraught after they took out the breathing tube, but after a few minutes of her heartbreaking silent cry, some small noises started to squeak out of her mouth. She seems so relieved to have the tube out and her heart responded well (the raised blood pressure and heart rate was mostly just because she was so mad, and rightfully so!).

When we left her with her loving Uncle Pete and Auntie Marianne she was sucking on a soother like it was going out of style. We've weaned her off a soother once, I'm sure we can do it again. For now, suck away baby!
