Anna’s been nil by mouth for 48 hours. Her stomach was so swollen on Tuesday that she was sent for a scan, and then an x-ray, which showed possible inflammation of the gut. Granny was with her at that point, and when I arrived there appeared to be a whole surgical team in reviewing her, ready to intervene if her condition became worse (ie ruptured gut).
From Tuesday teatime until Thursday teatime she was allowed nothing more than the occasional sip of water. She was very good about it, considering she must have been absolutely starving. Of course, as soon as the surgeons left, her stomach reduced and she was on really good form for the rest of the evening.
After they reviewed her last night, they said she wasn’t yet ready to eat anything she wanted but could have fruit ice lollies. Anna was delighted!
Her skin is continuing to heal, her liver function is slowly improving, her blood counts are better and her temperature has stayed below 38°C. However, she is still not right and is not going home for a little while yet. And until the surgical team say that Anna can eat anything else , she will be having ice lollies!
