Jasmine had a hectic day today, and not too many nice things to do for her one month birthday.
She was scheduled for the Newborn Hearing Screening test. However, this was neither quick nor easy. Jasmine was asleep when they started the test. After an hour of poking things in her ears and scraping the skin off her forehead to stick on electrodes she was very cross. The test was inconclusive and they wanted to try again on another day. It all sounds far more trouble than it is worth, so we’ll give that a miss.
Later in the day Jasmine sprang a leak. The nephrostomy bag that was collecting the output from the right kidney stopped filling up. Jasmine’s urine is leaking out of her side. We were obviously worried, but no one on the ward appeared overly concerned, so we are hoping that it isn’t too serious. The doctors have been discussing what to do about the nephrostomy for a couple of weeks, but this will no doubt bring plans forward. Hopefully they will be able to do something for her tomorrow.
Happy 1 Month Birthday x
