A good day

Today was a good day for Maisie, once more there was no one proding and poking her, the consultants and doctors left her alone.

Good News is that there appears to be no clinical sign of the duct (i.e. they can't hear it throught the stethoscope) which means the medicine worked. They are holding off on a scan to check this as it upsets Maisie and it is prefered that she is undisturbed at the moment.



At last Daddy gets a picture with him in


Maisies lungs however are still bad with the cronic lung disease and there currently seems to be no improvement. This is another reason to leave her just now to build up her strength.

Other signs show that the circulation to and from her lungs may be improving so fingers crossed that Maisie may have a another chance this week to breath without the tube from the ventilator.

More Good News is that Maisie has her appetite back and is guzzling down her Mummys milk using up some of the tankers of milk that have been delivered. This will give her the strength she needs and hopefully a spurt of growth, we could do with her being bigger than the size of Daddys hand.

are my parents idiots?

Mummy and Daddy decided to take some pictures at the Hosptial today - as you can see by this sample they didn't turn out to well. Can you belive that this was the best photo Daddy took of the 3 of us?

Maisie isn't even in the picture!

Thank you to Brian for bringing in more books for Maisie, we especially liked Slinky Malinkys Christmas Crackers! (Maisie is already trying to decide what she'd like for Christmas).
