oxygen reduced

Maisie and Mummy had their sleep over on Friday night. Maisie had a different machine that wouldn't alarm when her oxygen saturation dropped. Unfortunately for Mummy it did alarm all night as the heart rate monitor on the new machine did not seem to have very good contacts - Maisie's heart rate was fine. Mummy said that she would be very happy not to do another sleep over.

Maisie oxygen saturation when on her usual 0.3 litres of oxygen was at a very healthy 94-95% so the nurses tried Maisie on 02. litres. Maisie's saturation stayed at 94-95% - Good News!

The flow was then tried down at 0.1 litres but Maisie didn't fair so well at this rate and her saturation dropped down to 90% so it was turned back up to 0.2l.

It was agreed that Maisie's oxygen should be reduced to 0.2l. This is the flow rate that Maisie came home on  back in October which is good news.

Maisie playing with Uncle Alan at New Year
Maisie's Uncle Alan was taken very ill earlier in the week with an aneurysm on his brain. He had an operation on Friday which was successful and although Alan is stable. Alan is taking steps day by day towards recovery.

Daddy was with Uncle Alan on Friday and also went to visit him again with Aunty Manu on Saturday morning.

Aunty Manu then came up to visit Maisie to take some photographs with her big fancy camera. Unfortunately as usual when Maisie has visitors she decided not to smile and therefore not many great photos to share.

Sunday Maisie decided that to support Meghan with her revision for her Highers Maisie would also take some time out of her busy play schedule study;

"Does it look like I've got time to play  Mummy!"
