Jasmine Stalker-Firth

The registrar rang us early this morning to say that the renal and urology teams had discussed Jasmine’s case and they had a cancellation in their surgery schedule and were operating on Jasmine this afternoon. Unfortunately, by the time we got to the hospital the slot was no longer available and so Jasmine’s surgery has been postponed until next week or the week after.

It was an exciting day as Jasmine finally started breathing completely on her own. She has only been on 0.1 of oxygen but has needed it so that she doesn’t struggle when breathing. Today though she managed ok without it and it was really lovely to see more of her face. Jasmine off her oxygen means that we can leave her room. So we carried her into the corridor just to see what it was like and tomorrow we might even venture downstairs for a cup of tea, if she is ok.

We took in Jasmine’s new toys today. Gifts from Cris. She has a mobile with strong patterns in black and white and colour and a set of Lamazes wrist rattles and foot finders. Jasmine says thank you very much. She stared at the mobile as if she could really see it which impressed us no end.
