Lydia on the move!
On their ward round today, the SCBU team decided that Lydia no-longer needed to be on their High Dependancy ward and suggested she be moved to the Children's Hospital part of the Heath. I have just walked-in from physically moving her myself down to the cardiology ward (with one of the nurses)! This is another big step in her progress and a whole new set-up for mum & dad to get used to! There was some confusion in her "discharge notes" about her MRSA, in that it said her last set of swabs had been clear from her eyes, nose, throat AND umbilical! This is not what we (or the nurses) had been told, so I asked the doctor to double-check on the system and he confirmed this was the case. She will still have swabs taken next Mon, Tues & Wed to confirm her current status, which will be a good double-check! More confusion today (as usual) when the neonatal consultant mentioned in passing that "I expect as Lydia is doing well, they will leave her a couple more weeks before surgery". We will wait to see what the cardiologists say, as she is now fully under their care. The progress continues...
