milk tastes good

 Maisie had a head scan yesterday which was really positive. There has been no bleeding and Maisie's brain tissue appears to be normal. Considering what Maisie has been going through this is Amazing (just like my Maisie). It seems that Maisie is getting all the stimulation that she requires.

Maisie's oxygen supply has been stable at 97% all day and she has not had many desats. which is good.  Maisie has also progressed onto 2 hourly feeds and is accepting them well.

Daddy got cuddles today with Maisie. She didn't do to much sleeping though as she was enjoying being out of her incubator so much. Maisie was continuously lifting her head and looking around. She is getting stronger and stronger. Mummy is sure that Maisie shouldn't be lifting her head like she does but the Consultants are happy with this progress.

Mummy has been washing Maisie's mouth with her milk to help Maisie learn about taste. Maisie's feed goes straight into her wee tummy so this is the first time she has tasted milk. Maisie appears to love it and had a good suck on her dummy too when Mummy dipped it into some milk.

My Amazing Maisie dreaming of lovely milk.
