One thing we have learnt on our Hirschsprungs journey with William is that nothing is straightforward or predictable! He started to go downhill a little yesterday and was really unhappy today, after lots of monitoring he had an X-ray that showed he has an obstruction in his small intestine above his stoma, not connected to the previous surgery but it needs to be fixed so tonight he is in the emergency theatre having the blockage sorted and a new stoma formed. All very worrying but at least it happened while we were here and had Mr S on hand to sort it out. You have to have respect for someone who will stay on all evening to operate after he has been at work all week, we know everyone here will do their very best to get William well again quickly. It is seriously impressive and makes me want to drag the Tories round to see amazing NHS service in action (after they have taught y9 for a day of course!)
Anyway fingers crossed he will be out of theatre late tonight and on the mend over the weekend, hoping to get home mid / late next week so I need to email home a list of clean clothes I need!
Before all the drama started in William's room this happened in the corridor!
Bet that is the last time G agrees to call in to see me to bring hot chocolate on the way to a day out with Claire. Attacked by Darth Vader then dragged by the wallet round Gunwharf Quays by his wife. You have to feel sorry for him!! And photo bombed by Ariel the mermaid :)
