My lovely boy is a lot less agitated today. He didn't need to be sedated as much which was a good thing.
Bad news is that all that lying around meant that the mucus collecting in his throat has got infected so he now has a chest infection. They have been using a nebuliser on him a few times today and I was helping the physiotherapist get some of the mucus off of his chest. To do this I had to use the suction machine while she did the physio on his chest. It helped hugely and we discussed having a suction machine at home. I don't want one. No way, no how, no when. In the end it's not my decision but I know in my heart that he is needing it more and more.
With him lying still for, at the most, 3 minutes at a time today, I was able to get a look at the bruises he'd given himself.

| He was kicking one leg with the other |

| his ankle got a fair pounding |

| I don't know how he did these ones! |

His knees were rubbing together as he was so agitated

My poor boy!
He is such a trooper. It took me ages to get these photos as he was wriggling about so much! He was looking at me as if to say "what is my crazy mum up to now?!" The look on his face made me laugh. With facial expressions like his, he doesn't need to talk cos I know by his face exactly what he is thinking.
He is just so gorgeous.
Glad it has been a better day, Lynne and Jack put the 'g' in gorgeous X
ReplyDeleteLynne...you ALL are due many many better days! I do love the look Jack is giving you...I've seen that on some of my son's faces a time or two!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
So glad things have calmed down for Jack. And for you! And you're right, he is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHe most certainly is a gorgeous young man Lyndy. I am glad he is doing better, but that infection is frightening I am sure.
