Wednesday 16th April



Niamh is doing really well today. Her oxygen was right down to either air or just above so she is having minimal oxygen if any. Her pressure is still at 4 on optiflow although she pulled her prongs out this evening so I think she was trying to tell us something! I tried to retape it but it was a bit wonky and I think the whole thing needs retaping again! It looks like she is going into an open cot next week! She is already being wrapped now and seems really comfy with it. My mum will especially appreciate this photo as she loved seeing Bailey wrapped like a sausage roll lol! It will be Monday week (28th) when Niamh will have her eyes checked again, lets hope they are fine. She does look at us and follow movement so heres hoping.

I can't wait for her to have her first bath! Anthony will do the honours when the time comes which will hopefully be not long after she goes into a cot.

I completely got my times mixed up today! I thought I had an appointment with my specialist at 1.40pm, but after waiting outside a locked office today for half an hour, another secretary from another specialist phoned him only to find out I should have been there yesterday! How I got it so wrong, I dont know, I even had it in my organiser for that day and time. I have to go again next week now. Seeing as I was next to the hospital, I popped in and saw Niamh for a while. Anthony worked from home today so I was able to leave Bailey asleep at home which made it much easier for me. Bailey didnt stir at all so Anthony could still work, so it was good all round :) We went up again this evening and Anthony did her cares for her.

Yay to Niamh reaching 1.5 kilos! That is wonderful!

She is getting so much bigger and stronger. Can't believe she'll be in an open air cot soon! Amazing!

I'm just a stranger from EB that has been keeping track of Niamh progress as I am currently 31 weeks pregnant.

It's hard to beleive she is 3 times her birth weight!

Way to go Niamh.
