It was back to the hospital for Maisie to see the dietitian and to attend the consultants clinic. Maisie got weighed and unfortunately hasn't put on very much, weighing in at 5.08kg or 11lb 3oz.
Although Maisie hasn't grown the dietitian is happy - she's in good proportion. Mummy is very happy with this and was also told that she can start feeding Maisie solids; baby rice and fruit purees. Just a little a day and to add in new foods every couple of days. It is important the Maisie starts to do this for her continued development. It would not be good for Maisie to miss out on this experience.
Maisie will not see the dietitian for a while as she only needs her weight checked every 4 weeks now.
The registrar was also happy at the clinic. Maisie has shown strong development and is ahead of where they would have thought her to be - Amazing! Maisie's development is expected to be delayed for her age as she was born so early and it's Amazing to hear that she is doing well.
Maisie will be back in to check her developmental progress in 3 months. There are no changes for the moment - Maisie will stay on her medications and her oxygen level will continue to be monitored at sleep overs. We must remember that Maisie still has very bad lungs and is at great risk if she were to get an infection.
Maisie saw some of her old roommates at the clinic today and she was please to see how well everyone in progressing. It was a lovely wee reunion.
The next appointment for Maisie this week is with the physiotherapist.
More good news, excellent, and moving on to solids will help with the weight gain. Maisie has come so far since she was born and has gone through so much she is a little miracle really. Win x
