Changes overnight...

... Mummy chatted to the registrar this morning and he'd chatted to the consultant already. They've decided to bring the steroid treatment forward. Overnight I didn't cope very well... the pressure of the ventilation is at it's maximum.

They don't think I've got an infection at the moment, so that's relatively safe, the steroids won't cancel out any antibiotic medication, however the steroids do have an effect on my immune system, at least they won't be helping it to develop. They did some more cultures on my blood last night, but they won't get the results for 48 hours, but still they can't wait to see if there's any more infections to treat which is what they'd have preferred.

They're changing my breathing back to the high frequency 'oscarlating' type rather than conventional. They're keeping me paralysed so that I don't fight it. They'll know more about my copability later this morning.

Daddy's not going to America now, it's too far away to be able to come back if he needs to. He wants to be here for Mummy and me.
