Day 10 and Maisie made progress today firstly
by managing not to attach the velcro from her arms to the velcro on her
bonnet (it was becoming a regular occurrence which is quite funny to see).
Secondly her ventilation tube was leaking (probably due to Maisie being so
active) so instead of replacing it the fantastic Nurses tried to see if
she could breathe on her own (with reduced support but more oxygen) - which
she has now been doing for 4.5hours - Major Progress!

| Maisie breathing on her own - with Oxygen |
Don't get too excited though as it's really hard work for wee Maisie and
currently all other treatment is on hold as being able to breathe on her own
will benefit her the most. She's back a drip instead of Mummy’s milk as not
having a big belly will help her breath better.
However Maisie did get a wee dose of Caffeine as it helps to stimulate the
part of her brain used for breathing! R&S Z&M X
