Niamh's Eye Exam
Didn't go quite according to plan, there has been some haemorraging of the blood vessels so a top eye specialist was called in to give a second opinion. Laser surgery is still a possiblility at this stage, but not definite. We are going back again on Wednesday for another eye exam.
Feeling very frustrated with this and wish it was just over. We spent almost the entire day there yesterday, luckily Bailey was easily amused and very happy to be there! I think its his second home, he didnt want to go in the creche though but was happy to see everyone and chat. We visited a good friend of ours who is in the parenting unit this weekend. Im so excited for her! We went for a visit and she was so happy to be there!
It was funny trying to get out of the hospital yesterday, the doors to the wards kept opening and we saw so many of Niamhs lovely nurses we couldnt get away lol! It was great to see them and they were so happy to see Niamh, it was good to have a chat. We joked that they should keep the doors shut or we would never escape :)
Not much else to report, Niamh is doing really well. She is still very placid and feeds at predictable times (12am,4am,8am,12pm,4pm,8pm)! She only ever waivors by half an hour or so and then gets herself back on track. Shes a happy little girl and has settled in really well. Bailey really loves her, even the doctor yesterday commented on how good he is with her. He always wants to see her and if she cries for even a second he is telling us to "Go see Niamh"!
We got a call from our local Maternal Health Nurse, so we must go and see her soon.
Will update after the next eye test.

Hi Siobhan,
I used to check on Niamhs progress quite often after she was born. I was on maternity leave myself and used to spend lots of time on the computer lol. Anyway I have been back at work for 2 months,and tonight it suddenly hit me that I hadn't checked in on your amazing little girl for weeks.
I was so happy to see that you have finally been able to bring her home. She is just so adorable, with those chubby little cheeks on her. I am so happy for you and your family, take care.
Megan.
Hi Siobhan, hope that you get some good news about Niamh's eyes soon. Goodness knows you've certainly all been through enough.
Hope you are managing to keep your spirits up. You've really been through such a tough time - particularly as Niamh's actual due date has been and gone.
Sending you all my most positive thoughts,
Michelle

sorry to hear the eye exam wasn't as straightforward as hoped, but with eye surgery the way it is, I am sure the prognosis is actually quite good. Would any vision damage be whole or partial? Much love to you all - the Royle family seems to be going along swimmingly :-)
PS Went to EB meet yest.
