Well today was a far, far more successful day than yesterday! The Parrot Ward organised for transport to come and pick me up at 10 am and the car was here by 9.30. Once we got to the hospital and onto the ward we called Michael from the Elephant Day Care and he and a specialist nurse were down in 10 minutes. Chemo was administered quickly afterwards, whilst the anaesthetist came to talk to me about Massimo and she agreed to change the trachy tube whilst he was under. At about 2.30 pm we took Massimo down to the CT scanner and I cuddled him as he went to sleep. Less than an hour later I was collecting him again. He was very unsettled when he came round, possibly because his throat was hurting and when he got back to the ward he required oxygen for a while. We are, however, back home and I am eternally grateful for Verna’s presence tonight as I like the thought that she will be keeping an eye on his saturation levels (oxygen levels in blood) whilst I get a good night’s rest. Today, on top of yesterday, has been thoroughly exhausting. Good night all!
