still on the CPAP machine

It is now 36 hours since Maisie stopped using her ventilator and things have been going well all day. Maisie is working very hard to breathe on her own however it is tiring. Maisie is drinking plenty of Mummys milk which is helping to keep her strength up.

Maisie had another scan on her head which shows no change since the last one which is good news.

Gemma and Sarah visited Maisie today with their Mum Nicola, they brought a lovely book with them full of nursery rhymes, songs and fairy tales. They told Maisies Mummy that the book had Jingle Bells in it so Mummy shook the book? ......................Everyone was in stiches :)

Tomorrow Maisie will take the next step towards breathing on her own with the CPAP machine giving less support.

  1. That's wonderful, wonderful news. She really is a wee miracle. We love the pictures of her wee face. And what a clever girl to be putting on weight. We are always thinking of you and are looking forward to the picture of Maisie without her ventilator. All our love, the Byrnes. X
