As Max is so much better, he has been transferred back up to the Freddie Hewitt ward. Silvs is therefore going to be spending most of her time in with him. She is therefore back on Patientline, so can be called on 07046 200076 extension 7724. PLEASE call her to relieve the boredom!
We are now waiting for a slew of procedures:
1) Shunt – To sort out his Hydrocephalous
2) Rigid Bronchoscopy – To remove by laser the granuloma in his trachea
3) Microlaryngal bronchoscopy – To investigate the narrowing below his voicebox
4) Gastrostomy – To replace his ng tube (the one in his nose)
At the moment we are hoping that the shunt will be done on Wednesday at GOS, and that he will be transferred across there on Tuesday.
He is booked in to have the gastrostomy on 26th June, when they will hopefully do one or both of the bronchoscopies at the same time – the idea being to keep the number of general anaesthetics to a minimum.
