After 24 hours of Caroline having the chest valve put in (and sticking out of her clothes at odd angles) she is doing much better. The initial relief of being able to breathe again properly has passed and she just has to wait for the all the air to be expelled. This means that some treatment has been delayed, she has had some IVs but not the coley's vaccine.
We had a short walk this afternoon, which was her first time out of the hospital, but otherwise a quiet day. It was a shock to hear from home that Dad is in hospital in Ashington, having fallen and broken his hip while walking Ollie.
... and there was I thinking that WE were having a tough time! Hope Caroline's had a comfortable night & that treatment isn't delayed too much. Sorry to hear about Chris - hope he makes a speedy recovery. Both of our Dads here are sadly very poorly. How long are you there for?
