Christopher’s Journey.

Christopher had a test to check his good (left) kidney and its function. They believe that he may have some kidney reflux and contrast pumped up into the kidney showed that there is indeed kidney reflux as well as a fistula (connection) between the ureter and the bowel. This will need to be fixed via surgery. Christopher was also wrapped for the first time and loved it. He now cries when we unwrap him to do his “cares” (take his temperature, wipe his eyes, change his nappy and move the O2 sensor from one foot to another - these are done every 4 hours and we do this ourselves when we are with him.) He kicks his feet, punches his fists and screws up his face and cries but we can’t hear any sound because of the breathing tube.
