Well I haven't had much to update lately. My daughter has been well enough to keep out of hospital but now we are due back at Starship. We are leaving at 6.30am tomorrow, but it's just me, Antz and Trinz going. The 3 younger kids will be at Nana's and the 2 big kids will be at home. I can't imagine the state the house will be in when we return.
We are only going for 3 days this time, if everything goes to plan. She is having a bronchoscopy and CT scan done on Tuesday and has to be ventilated so we are hoping she comes off the ventilator straight away.
On Thursday her feeding tube was blocked so I had to feed her down her nasal gastric tube. On Friday we went to the hospital for a barium swallow test and the staff in the children's ward attempted to unblock her other tube. They tried for a few hours with no success so we had to get it pulled out. There was about 10 - 15cm of blockage. It was dried up hardened milk. They were going to put another 1 in which would take a few more hours to get it in and xray it etc, so we just said to leave it because the staff at starship can do it on Monday.
So at the moment we are hoping that she doesn't aspirate her milk into her lungs. So far she seems okay and we will see what happens in Auckland.
I will try and keep this updated while I'm at Starship to let you all know how she gets on.
