Wow, one hundred days! It seems like forever already! It was really lovely when we went in today, Niamh had balloons on her cot and two certificates and a beautiful cake! I have taken photos but will post them later as I have to go out now. (Photos now posted, I know they have spelt her name wrong, but the cake was delicious so who's complaining lol)! Im going to get checked out as I had a lot of pain today. It feels like gallstones which is ironic as I dont have a gallbladder lol! Should be fine :)

Niamhs eyes: Well, it seems to be good news. There appears to be slight improvement on her left eye so although she will be checked again next Friday it looks a bit better. Im still holding my breath though as its not that conclusive yet. Even if she does need surgery which hopefully is still looking unlikely she could be a day patient. The recovery time is 12 hours so it shouldnt delay us getting home.

Niamh will stop her caffeine today (the drug that helps her breathe) she should be off the monitors in 48 hours and hopefully off oxygen by mid next week. We are slowly getting there!! Just her feeding to sort out too now.

Ive been feeling really low today, dont know why, probably just exhausted and so desparate for her to come home and for her to be well.

Back from the Womens Assessment, what a waste of time! Im neither pregnant nor recently given birth so they can't see me, I didnt realise there was a specific criteria. Not to worry though, Ill just go and see my doctor, its not too urgent.

Thanks for all your lovely comments. I have to give a big thank you to Bec at the hospital for arranging our gorgeous cake today and Niamhs certificates, thanks Bec! You are fab!
