more cuddles at last

Maisie has not had a cuddle from Mummy or Daddy for over a week as she has not been well enough but Mummy got her wish when arriving at the hospital and spent an hour and a half giving Maisie a bit of Kangaroo Care.

Happy Mummy


Maisie was on her best behaviour today as she knew that Grand Uncle Bill and cousin Eleanor were coming to visit.

Maisie's oxygen supply was as low as 95% but averaging 98%. Not 100% so an improvement. Maisie's oxygen saturation has been quite constant  and again no significant ups or downs with Maisie's heart rate that she couldn't sort out herself.

Maisie's blood gases were much the same,  Carbon Dioxide still high with Maisie's wee kidneys helping to compensate for this.

Maisie's been putting alot of Mummy's milk away and has put on weight over the last couple of days. The target weight increase required each day is 30g. Over the last two days Maisie has put on nearly 100g and now weighs in at 1215g or 2lb 10.5oz. 

Lets hope that this is the start of the growth that Maisie requires.

(Daddy heard that the nurses on night shift ordered in pizza last night - could this be part of the reason Maisie has put on so much weight?)

    Lovely to see you giving Mummy a cuddle, Maisie. Glad to see the weight going on. We thought too, that Daddy was not sharing the donuts - he's been very quiet on that subject recently. Love to the family as always.
