Good together

Good news from the scan. Surgery sucessful in removing part of tumour. But the surgeon reminds us that the next operation in January is more risky and uncertain to have such a good outcome.

The boy had a bad night. Only slept for a few hours. Demanded Mummy come in to bed with him. This doesn't bode well for tonight when I will be with him. He spent the morning complaining if I tried to do anything for him. Only Mummy will do.

His constipation has cleared [non-parents may wish to skip the next bit] he had a suppositary last night. Within minutes there was an almighty liquid rumbling from his nappy. Had a quick peek. Wished I hadn't. Four days backlog in one go. When I tried to clean it up the nappy could not contain it and it ran down my hands and arms. Meanwhile Mummy was saying well done. I was not so charitable. Which got me a bit of a telling off. Further squirty noises over the next couple of hours meant lots of time clearing up the mess.

He had the scan this morning and was as excited as ever to go for a general anaesthetic. Happily gave the anaesthetist his line for the medicine and asked to have the bleeping machine (sats monitor) turned on.

The surgeon came to see us soon after he returned to the ward. Happily she came to the bed. She said everything looked ok on the scan. The part of the tumour that she was trying to get has gone and there did not seem to be any complications. We will probably be here for the rest of the week before transferring to our local hospital. The next surgery is still likely to be in January. But she did remind us that the next operation was more serious. Both in terms of the difficulty of the operation and the potential side effects. We'll face that when we have to.

In the meantime the big bandage has come off the boy's head and revealed a large inverted J shaped inscision. Much larger than last time. His neck is a mass of yellow and purple bruises. But otherwise he seems fine.

Good old auntie came to visit again with her pandas and some bamboo for little panda. After she went the boy was desperate to see the doctors in the blue hats (anaesthetists) and got very upset when he realised he couldn't go again today. Strange boy.
