No news is good news

No new news again today. Lydia looks a bit "grey" today, as she's been taken off all pain relief now, but I'm sure she will perk up when she realises she's on for a trip back to sunny Wales on Wednesday!! They have taken the line out of her neck now and she pulled her nose tube out, so when they pull the short line out of her arm (hopefully they will stop the blood thinning drug tomorrow) she will be "pipe free"!! Just a few wires left to go! Lydia was swabbed again following her surgery and the good news is that she is still clear of the dreaded MRSA!! The plastic surgeons will be contacting the team in Cardiff to keep an eye on the nasy black patch of skin on her arm and her ring finger. Her pulses are still faint. The dietician came to see us today and confirmed that Lydia needs more calories again to make up for the weight lost since surgery. She also needs to start growing in length a bit more, so they have started her back on the fortifier added to Helen's milk. She is still having trouble remembering to breathe while sucking from the bottle, so they may need to put another nose tube down for her night feeds, we'll see how she goes over night! Report more as it happens...
