The Longline Is Out!

Another milestone today when the nasty Peripheral Longline was removed. This is the tube that was inserted into Amy's ankle and snaked for 25 cm up her body to administer fluids. Now removed it means that Amy is able to use that foot and leg for kicking people trying to put her back on CPAP. Swine! Everything she needs is now going down the tube in her nose.

Good old Amy managed to throw a complete paddy as Anna was trying to change her with her heart rate exceeding 200 for the first time while I was there. Mine topped about 300 before Amy finally calmed down thanks to Anna's gentle touch. Kids eh?

Amy's esteemed guests today were Jane, Chris, Sue & Ted. Grandparents galore! We're all off for a slap-up binge at Mrs Miggins' pie shop - Doctor's orders apparently plus an early get-together in advance of Anna's birthday on Tuesday.
