Maisie's big day out

Maisie was looking  very beautiful when Daddy arrived to see her, the wonderful nurses had dressed her in one of Aunty Rhona's fancy outfits;

Who can remember this picture of the stripey trousers Aunty Rhona gave Maisie?

they were as big as Maisie

Maisie's consultant would like Maisie to manage at a set level of oxygen for about 10 days. If Maisie can stop her oxygen de-saturations this may be possible. Then Maisie will have to manage without a monitor.

If Maisie can do all this then we can start arranging for her to go home - to make all the necessary arrangements will probably take another 10-12 days.

Sooooooo..................it is possible that Maisie could be home at the beginning of October. Let's pray that things go to plan between now and then.

Today Amazing Maisie took another big step along the challenging journey home;

look what Mummy found in the
 store cupboard at the hospital! 

Maisie escaped from her ward for the first time since her wee holiday to Glasgow, it was a very beautiful day to get out, enjoy the sunshine and take in some fresh air. It was a little breezy in the wind though so Maisie put on a rather stylish beanie hat;

A very excited Mummy and Daddy enjoyed the experience a lot more than Maisie who didn't seem that interested in escaping from her ward and happily slept through the whole adventure.

This turned out well for Mummy and Daddy who decided to take a break and have a coffee and cake;

this Costa opened the same day Maisie was born! 

Mummy and Daddy are looking forward to more trips out around the hospital with Maisie. Hopefully Maisie will appreciate the next day out as much as Mummy and Daddy did today!

  6. Richard, Suzy - that is fantastic news, and I love the picture of the sun on Maisie's face. I can even forgive the shameless plug for Costa given the happy occasion. Love Gerald, Alison, Catriona and Ruairidh XXX
