escaped again

Maisie's oxygen is mainly between 0.3 and 0.5 litres but does rise up to 0.75l when feeding or being changed. Maisie continues to have de-saturation especially when initially feeding.

It's is still not understood why this is happening. Another thought is that she is struggling to co-ordinate all the different things that she has to do while feeding; she needs to remember to breath, she needs to remember to suck and she also needs to swallow her feed.

Maisie also needs to fill her nappy - there has not been a proper full nappy of the type that turns Mummy green since Wednesday. Only small deposits are being made. This could also be part of Maisie's discomfort.

Mummy and Daddy had a lovely afternoon with Maisie who was very alert and playful which is a great improvement from the last through days.

Maisie managed to escape from the ward today with Daddy's help. This time she left in the comfort of her own pram. Getting out of the ward seems to do Maisie the world of good. Daddy and Mummy certainly love  the change in routine.

Escape is good - oxygen saturation of 95% is excellent

  2. Maisie looks magic in her pram. It looks like another good sunny day for an escape day today. Give both mummy and daddy a corker of a nappy to fill as well and it will be a perfect day for them!Win x
