Friday 29th February


Niamh has been fairly good, but is still having desats.(Oxygen levels drop,heart rate can slow and breathing is affected) Her haemoglobin levels are low so she will be having a blood transfusion today. Hopefully that will help her. She now has a dummy to suck on which she seems to like and I have ordered some special premmie dummies from America which are on their way right now! Niamhs milk has been put up to 3.5ml/hour and her weight is 62og. I will have to find out her length and head circumference tomorrow.

Here is some video from Tuesday 26th when she had just opened the second eye:

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Binnie!

That video was just so precious! she is so darn cute, I just wanna scrunch her up and kiss her all over!

Hope she is stabilising soon, those desats and alarms are most unnerving. The blood transfusion should make her feel a million bucks too.

Hope you are looking after yourself as well as you can and things are not too stressful, though god knows its a hard time for you still.

All my best thoughts are still with you every day.
