Catheters and Casting - Take 2
August 21st, 2007 at 10:43 pm (Updates)
Christopher had his feet cast today. The plasters start from his toes and go all the way up to the tops of his thighs. These will have to be changed on a weekly basis to allow for growth and to ensure that his feet are straightening correctly. Christopher was a very unhappy boy when they were putting on the casts. It only took about 25 minutes, but being mucked around with, really annoys him. Poor little tyke had tears and everything, and was only happy once it had all ended and had cuddles with Mum.
Whilst the casting was being done, Christopher’s catheter fell out (again due to a deflated balloon). So he had to have that replaced this afternoon. He slept through the 10 minute procedure. Obviously he has a good pain tolerance, but just doesn’t like being poked, prodded and examined. It possible that he may have already worked out that Dr’s = Bad and Mum & Dad = Good :D. Then again, if every time someone new comes to see you and they don’t give you a cuddle, its likely that you are going to be suspicious and tense.
