Christian at home

Christian has been home all week, is eating and drinking well and seems very happy. We are waiting for the antibiotics course to finish this weekend to see if his infection comes back or not. If it does come back, there may be no option but to return to St George’s to have his portacath removed and replaced. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

The good news is that the sponsorship is going fantastically well. Claudia’s company Porcelanosa have very generously offered to match sponsorship for £2,000 too. MorganStanley will match £2,000 per employee involved so we may persuade them to match all the money raised by getting more of my colleagues to run! All good stuff.DSC06848

The doctors even hoped that he would remain sleeping as they inserted a nasal gastric tube. Unfortunately two doses…

    We got back from St George’s yesterday. Christian is on intravenous antibiotics once a day which are being administered by a community nurse.
