20th November 2010 - PD Off, Chest Drains out

PD ( A type of dialysis)  off, Chest rains out... Fantastic day. Those chest drains are sticking out from beneath his rib cage and empty into a bag all the excess blood, PD and body fluids and they have been very temperamental. We are very happy to have that part of his recovery over.
He had another 20 second SVT* so the medication is obviously helping.
With his chest drains out we can dress Benjamin... oooh! bring on the mommy time. I can bath him, dress him massage his cream in and give him a cuddle. What a great mommy day.
 And Kerry is back today and you can tell as Benjamin is comfy and his cot is tidy.His dressings have all been changed and everything is perfect. We love Kerry.


SVT* is an irregular rapid heart beat. It can happen post operation but many people are born with it.Medication may be needed for sometime.
