The sedation for the port going in was fine, but unfortunately not everything else. Caroline started to wheeze and her chest felt constricted when she came round yesterday afternoon. After vists from drs in the evening and night, she was xrayed again today and about lunchtime we were told she had a collapsed lung. (Apparently happens in 3-4% of cases.) She's had a tube put in to reinflate the lung (48-78 hrs) and is coming round now. It's very distressing for her, and means the first coley's vaccine will have to be delayed.
Plus we had our second earthquake yesterday evening, apparently the hospital has some kind of tremor damping system below ground, but it's a bit alarming!
Things were going so well. Hope Caroline's had a comfortable night & is feeling a little better. Hadn't realised it was earthquake season - must have been interesting what with the carnival going on too!! We thought there'd been an earthquake here yesterday. Turned out a tree in the grounds uprooted & fell down. It was over 150 years old & has left a massive crater. Thank the lord the children weren't out there. Love to you both & Happy Birthday to the boys form the Bulmers x
