Christopher’s Journey.

Today Christopher is 6 weeks old This time has flown by and dragged all at once, if such a thing is possible. Christopher was due to be extubated today as his lungs were clearing up so well, apart from one small hitch. He had only pee’d out 8ml in the last 24 hours. Another Ultrasound showed that the abdomen was fuller than it was last night. So they took him into the operating theatre at about 2.30pm and the surgeon went in to find that the hole left by the SPC had healed over, but he had a hole in his Ureter (the pipe from the kidney to the bladder). The surgeon had no idea how that got there (nor do we), so she removed it from the place it was at, shortened it and reattached it into a new position (and this now puts a stop to the kidney reflux he had). Christopher is now resting comfortably from his 5th op in 6 weeks and he is now weeing in the right direction!!!! Possibly all this was a blessing in disguise. Oh and they had to put drips in his head - because he has inherited shy veins from his mum! Christopher was extubated this evening as he was fighting the ventilator and seemed to be doing well.
