He was all set for extubation today – really doing nicely. Bit wriggly, but in 21-28% oxygen. I got to change another nappy!
BUT – it was discovered he now has a hernia – left side groin. So, more surgery, probably tomorrow, and no extubation. One or two other babies in the unit are also having hernia surgery tomorrow, so Max will join that queue.
My poor darling. He looked so lovely today. Occasionally opening his eyes a little bit, and some little grins. He also loves the dummy and sucked on it for ages.
He’s not working the EBM perfectly – his stoma output is a bit watery – so they’re taking him off it and trying a lactose-free formula instead (once he’s allowed back on food after the surgery).
