Another One Of Those Days

Today has been another one of those days that we hoped were behind us. In himself Toby looks fine but he does have two problems at the moment. The first is his fungal infection that has still not cleared up after two weeks. The doctors want to put another line into him to give him some more drugs for a further two weeks however this can't be done at north manchester so he will need to go back to St Marys or Pendlebury. The plan to bring him home in a few weeks won't happen now and there is also issues regarding when he is to be moved because of the bank holiday weekend.

The second thing is that Toby has a problem with his Liver which has resulted in him having jaundice. However is seems to be more serious than the one that many babies get. They are going to do a scan at Pendlebury next Tuesday to see what is going on. Worst case is that he might need surgery or a liver transplant but we are not at that stage yet and it might just be related to the infection.

We are doing alright but as you can imagine we are quite upset as he seemed to be on the mend and we were hoping to have him home soon which won't happen now.
