19th December 2012

Aydan had an ultrasound of his chest today and it looks as though the clots around his left lung have disappeared!! Woo hoo!! :0)

It was decided that today would be the day they try to take him off ECMO.

When they clamped the neck cannulas I was very very nervous.

And bless him, he did ever so well, he lasted a good half an hour before having to put him back on the ECMO machine.

Sadly his O2 levels dropped down to 60%, but on the bright side it was better than the 20% it fell to the other day!!!

The ECMO machine had become very clotty so he had to have it all changed again.

I really hate it when he has the machine changed, each time it's changed it knocks him off his healing quest by a few days, and you can really see it in his face and on his chest X-rays.
