big dirty nappies

Maisie met with the eye doctor - there is no major change. The examination shows that the blood vessels are not yet growing into the outer part of the retina. They could be getting restricted by a small ridge from the ROP that Maisie previously had.

The Anti VGAF seems to have just arrested the process and the ROP may be back - stage 1. Fortunately there is no plus disease to be seen.

This is not to much of a problem as Maisie is big and strong and would be fit enough to have an operation for the lazer treatment if it is needed. The eye doctor cannot predict which way the vessels will grow - it is possible that Maisie could grow out of the ROP as she is much more mature now.

"really Daddy, this is fun?  I'd rather have a cuddle!"

Maisie's oxygen is mainly at 0.3% and is turned up to 0.5% for feeds to try to stop the de-saturations. Maisie has also dirtied a few nappies which is good news.

Daddy left early today as he has gone south for Great Grandma's funeral so Maisie got lots of Mummy time!
