Monday +60




What an exciting day with the surprise arrival of Hannah, Nicky and Andy to the big smoke (teacher training day, not skiving!). We went for Pizza then took the tube to Buckingham Palace so that Hannah could see where the Queen lives (!). We walked over to Harrods and paid a fortune for cakes, tea and milkshakes. Andy saw Fulham’s manager (sorry Andy I forgot his name almost immediately such is my knowledge of Football) and Big Brother winner Brian and we bought Christmas baubles and toys. Hannah was an absolute delight and I enjoyed myself so much.
William has started on oral sodium bicarbonate as his blood gas levels remain a bit wonky. He is losing too much fluid to keep his own balance. He is getting ½ replacement fluids (replacing the volume lost in his nappies) to top him up too (an increase from ¼). Unfortunately it will just take time for his body to be ready to try ‘food’ again. He is drinking up to 200mls water a day so that’s a start. The steroids are having some effect at reducing the high score that his liver function/dysfunction results show but that too will take a bit of time. Otherwise his blood counts are all fine. Rob has gone now and I am tired after such a fun day, so will say goodnight.
