A Rollercoaster Day!

Today has been another one of those rollercoaster days but it ended really well :-)

 

My sister Becs has been here since yesterday and she came into the hospital with Mum and myself. Mum got to feed Ffion, who's been really good and taken all her feeds from the bottle today.

 

The nephrologist came round this morning and said that they probably wouldn't be able to let Ffion home until her stent is out which could be 5 weeks time. They think it's likely that the stent has been colonised with bacteria and as soon as her antibiotic course finishes she will get another urinary tract infection and need more. These have to be intravenous given the particular bug that she has. The nephrologists are negotiating with the surgical team now to see if the stent can come out sooner so she doesn't have to have so many antibiotics. We are waiting to hear the results of that.

 

This afternoon, however, the nurse came in and said they'd decided that they could change the time of Ffion's antibiotics to 8am and 8pm and she can come home between these hours starting from tomorrow!! So I've got all the stuff we need for feeds and I shall be there shortly after 8am tomorrow to bring her home for the first time :-)) (They'd better not change their minds now...)
