Maisies log;

Today Maisie was described as 'very
bright' by the consultant (had to question whether he was really talking
about our Maisie). She is very aware of what is happening around her and so
becomes very reactive, with everything happening just now trying to help
her breath she has become a little unstable and so the checks needed to see
if the medication worked yesterday cannot be done, however her wee heart
sounds like it is pumping more normally which indicates that the medicine
did its job.

More rest and more food are the doctor’s orders, wish he'd
order the same for us :) R&S, Z&M X

To All, here is Maisie's latest update:

After a nice and restful night the lazy little so and so still insists that
she can't breathe. She's had a scan and there's a wee duct across some blood
vessels that needs to be closed to aide her breathing. This would be normal
and okay if she was still in Suzy however it's not helping just now and so
she will be getting some medicine to help close it off.
This is the next step on the way to wee Maisie being able breath on her
own.

We'll update you all when we know where this next step of Maisie's
Incredible Journey will takes us. R&S, Z&M x :)

Today's update; Suzy had a good sleep last night and appears well
rested. Maisie has had a restless night, this morning they tried her
without the ventilator but she was having none of it and decided if she
wasn't going to get help to breath she just wouldn't do it, stubborn wee
lassie! She's now back on the ventilator and back to being a bit more
settled. X

Latest: Suzy will be home today and Maisie still remains fairly
stable but still not wanting to breathe on her own, however very happily
feeding (likes her food like her Dad) X

Maisie is lovely and stable this morning, they are going to try
and wean her off the morphine (wee druggie) and hopefully she will stay
calm and then later this week try her without the ventilator. Suzy is well
but tired.

Good Morning - Suzy is well, Maisie is stable, strong blood
pressure and good oxygen intake, will hopefully get some of Suzy’s colostrums
later today X
