car seat challenge

Maisie is 6lbs 15.5oz, could she be any closer to 7lbs? In new money it's 3165g. The new high energy drinks are hopefully starting to work.

Mummy and the nurses made Daddy's day today with a couple of comments that they made about our Amazing Maisie;

Mummy;  "Maisie is looking really ginger today!"

Nurse: "Maisie looks more auburn today"

Daddy's girl still seems to have the potential to be Ginger!

"I just have to sit here for a
wee while and then I can go home - no problem!"

Maisie had her "Car Seat Challenge."

Maisie was put back on the monitor to measure her oxygen saturation, had to sit in her chair for 1 and a half hours and be monitored every 15 mins.

Maisie needed to maintain her oxygen saturation over 92% which was difficult for Maisie to do just a week or so ago.

This is to ensure that Maisie's neck is strong enough to hold her windpipe open while in her seat. Maisie has to manage this challenge to get home as the only way home is in her car seat.

Maisie found her car seat very comfortable and seemed to enjoy the experience. Maisie is used to sitting in her chair so this challenge should be a doddle.

Unfortunately just 10 minutes into the challenge Maisie decided that eating was much more important than passing her test to get home even though she had been fed just 45 minutes before the start of the challenge.

Challenge aborted!

Good thing is Maisie can re-sit this test as many times as she'd like.
