Today the nephrostomy started to work again so there was no immediate need to do anything. Jasmine went for an ultrasound to see if any urine had backed up into the kidney. We will meet with the urologists tomorrow to discuss what they are going to do. The options are: fix Jasmine’s tubes and blockages, or take the kidney out altogether.
Philip popped into the hospital and met Jasmine tonight. She wasn’t at her best as she was screaming and in the middle of a nappy and dressing change. Normally, she is quite chilled out and likes to lounge on our lap and stare a lot. After her feed we sat her up to wind her. She was swaddled in a blanket but poked her long skinny arm out with its red probe (her oxygen saturation monitor) and rolled her big eyes. She looked remarkably like E.T, so we were a bit disappointed when she didn’t say, ‘Phone home’.
