5th August

A lovely day today.....

Briony had put on 60 grams which means she is almost, but not quite back at her birth rate. She also seemed more settled today and is managing to breathe a little easier. She is still on the breathing support and occasionally drops her oxygen saturation, but is getting better at righting herself, rather than the nursing staff having to intervene.

The humidity and temperature control on her incubator have slowly been weaned down and hopefully by tomorrow will be off completely.

As she is progressing well, Mummy was allowed a longer cuddle today and Briony was out of the incubator for about 25 minutes....until she told everyone that she had had enough by dropping her heart rate to 32 beats a minute (should be between 150 and 180)....

Granny Chignell came to visit today and says that she looks much better than when she saw her about 11 days ago.

A positive day for everyone. Hopefully tomorrow will bring more of the same! On a slightly different note, Briony's Mum is really proud of herself as she has managed to fit into her pre-maternity jeans today - hurrah!
