Massimo has shown remarkable resilience, and I think this might become his trademark! He was very, very unsettled after the MLB yesterday, as Justin mentioned, and when we got back to the ward the sedation seemed to take effect and he slept on and off until this morning. He has had regular doses of Calpol to help with any pain he might be in and his throat definitely hurts as he had refused his dummy since returning from surgery, and we all know how much he LOVES his dummy! However this morning he removed his oxygen so I left him in air for about half an hour, then I put him back on oxygen because I needed to express his milk and didn’t want the monitor to be alarming every five minutes. 10 minutes later I noticed that he had knocked it off again so I just left him and he has been in air ever since. Admittedly he had me on a very small amount of oxygen, but even that would have kept us in hospital. So fingers crossed that we will be home soon.
We are meeting up with someone from the ENT team this afternoon to discuss accurately and hopefully fairly in-depth what the warts are and what treatment they will need, short and long-term. I’m sure J will update you all later.
Massimo did have a slight temperature this afternoon but this is normal post-op so assuming that this will clear up on its own, things are looking good. His cold/viral infection also seems to have cleared up. Also from this afternoon he has been enjoying his dummy again.
Hoping this all makes sense as I am writing in a hurry (I must get back to the hospital) and thank you all for your messages of support.
