On Thursday morning they told me I could bring Massimo home, but by the time I went to collect him he had spiked a temperature and wasn’t looking himself at all. An influenza bug has been detected in one of the secretions tests that they did so a course of antibiotics was started yesterday evening. I hoped that by today he would be better and might come home especially as his oxygen requirement had come right down and when I called in the evening he was doing well with no oxygen at all. This morning when I called the nurse looking after him told me that he was very unsettled and unhappy, so much so that at around 11.30 after a dose of paracetamol and a dose of ibuprofen didn’t settle him they ended up giving him a sedative. He wasn’t in a great mood most of the time I visited but apparently this evening he was playing happily in his cot and is now fast asleep. At this stage it is difficult to predict when he will be home but it should hopefully be soon.
