Amazingly enough we are still at home. We have broken our 2 day record and have now been here for 5 days. Only one small hiccough in that Massimo had a wheeze on Saturday and by Sunday morning no amount of saline nebulisers helped so we popped in for a brief visit to PICU for a quick salbutamol nebuliser (asthma inhaler stuff in a nebuliser) which seemed to do the trick. He still has a slight wheeze but it is much better now. Of course all this happened whilst Justin was away overnight at a stag weekend, but we managed very well on our own except that the suction machine tipped over in the car and got the filter wet so it stopped working. I had to get my brother out of bed and round to PICU to rescue us with the spare part!
Quite the most interesting and important thing that has happened is that on Sunday morning Massimo took off his oxygen, a game he likes to play, and play quite well, but most significantly he did this with his right hand and then took the oxygen from his right hand with his left hand. Of course most babies learn to do this sooner but I am inordinately proud! Justin didn’t see it, of course, and I’m not quite sure he believes me.
