This is just a quick note to say that Max is back in hospital. Yesterday afternoon, Silvs became rather worried about his breathing – he seemed to be working very hard just to get enough oxygen.
She called the community nurse, who came quite quickly. They changed his trachy tube straight away which eased things a little, but Max was still struggling. They recommended taking him into Accident and Emergency. From there they admitted him, and Max and Silvs spent last night and all of today in the hospital.
It seems that he has a viral infection which is causing the difficulty, so we are just going to have to wait for him to fight it off. Helen (our community nurse) seemed to think it was unlikely that he would be coming home tomorrow.
Unfortunately his head has put on another growth spurt, so one of the doctors was going to talk to Kate (who has looked after him on the NNU). Nothing further seems to have happened about that at the moment, so we are waiting to see.
Hopefully Max and his Mum will be home soon!
