Here are the girls on day 15.
Maddy is now completely off the Fentanyl pain medication and her feeds have been steadily increasing. She's also on Low Flow nasal prongs and it's the end of her first week of all four hour physio sessions. The thing is she is still so small that she is having some problems with fatigue. So the decision is about to be made to put her back on CPAP and give her a rest for a little while so she can build some size and strength.
She looks peaceful but she is struggling to keep her O2 levels up.
Just after the photo above was taken Maddy's nurse began hooking her up to the CPAP. It was decided that reducing her milk intake and feeding over an hour rather than gravity feed might ease the effort she had to put in.
