This morning Max’s gastro surgeon came in and worked on his bowel, which seems to have allowed the lower parts of his system to begin passing gases and normal movements. This probably wasn’t a comfortable process, but he certainly should be more comfortable now!
Feeding is up to 2ml per hour. His latest blood tests were reasonably good, but he’ll have another FBT tomorrow.
No braddys overnight, but he did have one while we were there in the afternoon. We think it’s most likely from some water coming down his breathing tube (condensation), which then irritates a nerve in his throat, causing the heart rate to slow momentarily.
I gave him a bed wash, and we took the dressing off his wound. Very neat work – about 1.5 inches across, and from memory) about 6 stitches. He’s going to have some great stories to tell in the pub when he’s older…
