Massimo was transferred back to Freddie Hewitt last night at around 8pm. He was still on a little oxygen (0.1 litres per minute), especially when asleep, but not really needing it when awake. He was cheerful enough although they had done a routine trachy change in the morning. He and I had a lovely cuddle and his control of his head is improving every day – what a clever boy!
His nurse Sally has just called to say that he came off his oxygen completely this morning and that she gave him a bath this morning and he giggled all the way through! He is now only on 10mcg (a very small amount!) of Clonodine twice a day and they reckon he can come home very soon. He has been in hospital this time since Sunday 5th October – that was over 5 weeks ago and it is very exciting to think that he will be home again soon.
