Wednesday 12th March

We are going to see Niamh this evening so I phoned for an update today. They reduced her feeds overnight to 4ml but they were looking to bring them back up to 4.5 later today. She has still been unstable and there is a possibility that the PDA is open again (the duct). We may know more later so will update then.

EDITED TO ADD: We saw Niamh last night and she looked pretty good. She is still very up and down, but we spoke to her doctor and he isn't worried. The duct is partially open but there is no flow through it at the moment, so it is going to be left to sort itself out (hopefully). Niamh has had a cardio echogram and an Xray to check the position of the vent tube. All was good (apart from the duct) Her lungs look great for her little size and age. There is a slight collapse of her left lung, but hopefully that will rectify itself as she grows.
