We took Max into the hospital today to be admitted as planned only to be told that due to an outbreak of swine flu and RSV there was no bed for him in the intensive care or high dependancy unit. I had worked myself up so much for this but when they said we could take him home I couldn't decide if I was happy or not??? Simon was just happy to get out of the hospital I think! No idea whats going to happen next, as its near impossible to schedule the op given the situation i'm not sure if we will be coming home or not. I'm desperate to get home with Max but if we head just now it only means this whole op looms over us all...and then we have to come back down. I'm also worried Max starts to struggle, i'm totally confused. He is still showing after effects of the RSV so maybe it was not the right time anyway, although they did say this may be because of the organs in his chest - so may questions???
Anyway, Simon has gone out with Max to get some wine as we're already fed up thinking about it all - so we'll drink instead!
Will update when I can.
Simon, Katie & Max xxx
p.s - In the photos, Max at the swing park yesterday.
Glad to hear he is doing a bit better. Don't you just hate when things don't go as planned? Still thinking of you all praying everyday.
ReplyDeleteWe can completely sympathise with your frustration with the news of this delay but as you said, if he's still not 100% then its best to wait and spend the time dishing out mummy and daddy cuddles. We've become so moved from your words and admire all of your strength and bravery. Reading this brings back so many of our own memories of intensive care and uncertainties, which flora had to overcome. Max is an inspiration to us all. Look after each other and enjoy that glass of wine :) Iain, Hannah, Tilly and Flora x
