White.
Hello all,
If any of you are not interested in
receiving information about Errol's grandson, please let me know. This
information does not pertain to TM, but it does concern a member of our group
that we love dearly, so I feel it important to keep you updated.
If anybody feels this is
inappropriate, I will be happy to create a private mailing list to email
separately.
Thanks.
From Errol:
Hello our
friends,
Dane is fairly stable at present, still
has big problems and a new glitch
with his liver has arisen, it is slightly
enlarged, could be from his heart
problems, and is under investigation. He
has been back in ICU since
last Monday. We saw him on Thursday, except for
a couple of problems
attacks, he looked reasonably ok. The specialist
surgeon will
meet the parents again on Monday to further discuss surgery
and
implications. Main problem is if he has a brain bleed while on
the by pass
machine, it could be fatal or leave him disabled.
His infection is down to
just under 10 now slowly progressing to the norm
of five to six for babies
his age and weight. He was 153 when
admitted to hospital three weeks ago.
Also his brain bleed is healing but
not as fast as his heart is likely to
fail. It works so hard and he
tires so quickly. Thursday he had a meal via
tube and a bowel
movement at the same time and caused him some stress and
the paled rapidly,
however the ever alert nurse and doctor monitoring him
got him back to
colour again, but it gives you one hell of a
fright.
He is now four weeks old. The Starlight
Foundation donated a day at
the ekka to Shaun, Liv and children today.
They had a good day out togather
as a family. First time in nearly three
weeks. The Foundation
also gave presents to the other three children and
have taken an
application for a "Wish" to be granted for the family when
they get through
this. Can I again thank you all and the other ladies of
the Red
Hatters for your kind thoughts and prayers for our little Dane.
Nothing I
have had in my life, Transverse Myelitis, heart attacks,
pacemakers and
this wretched cold I finally succumed to, is too hard to
handle after I see
what this little chap is battling. Thanks
again
friends.
Love and Kind Regards from Mavis and Errol (with tears in
my eyes again)....
and our three little lodgers, Natalie, Nisse and
Davin.
