Good growth

Maisie had a fair nights sleep which is more than can be said for Daddy although he got more sleep than the last sleep over.

Maisie was settled and so the nurses tried to turn the flow of oxygen down from 0.3litres to 0.2l. Maisie wasn't too keen of this level of flow and this showed with her oxygen saturation decreasing  which in turn caused the alarm on the monitor to sound which in turn caused Daddy too have a sleepless night.

It was decided that Maisie's oxygen level would be put back up to 0.3litres. Even at this level Maisie was capable of setting the alarm off.

Lots of the nurses who'd looked after Maisie popped by too visit. They all told her how beautiful she was. Daddy was very proud of Maisie but was aware that he hadn't really helped in the looks department and that Maisie must have got her Mummy's looks. However must be remembered that Aunty Rhona and Aunty Cat are also beautiful so Daddy may have passed some looks from his side of the family too.

The consultant seems quite happy with Maisie's progress and is in no rush to wean her off the oxygen. It is better to have her breathing without struggling.  Maisie is also still a little wheezy at times but as long as she's not struggling to catch her breath it is not something to worry to much about. Maisie's wheezing will be looked at again at her clinic appointment later this month.

Maisie was weighed and it's good news. Maisie had good growth during the last week and now weighs 10lb 12oz, 4.91kg - the dietitian is happy and will see Maisie again in a couple of weeks.

Mummy did a really amazing job of making sure Maisie took her requirement of milk last week.

It was a good visit to the hospital.
