Update II

Max and Silvs are still in hospital, and it looks as though they may well be there for a few days. Max is still finding it hard to breath so is getting a little oxygen to make things easier.

It is not looking particularly good at the moment for the gastrostomy and airway investigation which are booked in for next Wednesday. We are assuming if he has not fully recovered from the infection by then that the op will have to be delayed. A real shame as it is not helping Max’s swallowing and it is a real pain to deal with for us, so the sooner it goes the better. Fingers crossed that it can still go ahead.

Silvs is needless to say getting quite bored in hospital, so any one feeling particularly flush might like to call her. She has one of these Patientline terminals, and they charge an exorbitant 50p per minute. Her number is 07046 200076 extension 7724. I am sure she would love to hear from you.
