Maisie is doing really well today and moved onto the next stage with the CPAP. This means that the machine is no longer giving Maisie forced breaths and she has to breathe on her own. The CPAP machine gives a set pressure to ensure that Maisies lungs stay open and don't collapse. This pressure is not as high as it has been which is good progress.
Maisies machine also gives her Oxygen and this level is reducing too. This morning the oxygen was at an 80% concentration and is evening it was down below 50%. This is good for Maisie. Normal Oxygen levels in air are 21% so still a long way to go.

Poor Maisie looks a little fed up - Maisie is determined to get off the CPAP.
Poor Maisie, you do look fed up. You are doing well and soon that fancy dress will be gone. Other babies are so lucky to be able to share your Mummy's milk. Love to you all as always. xxxxxx
