Not a bad night but not much sleep. When I arrived Ryan was a bit agitated and became progressively more so until, in the end, it was difficult to hold him. It turned out that his trachy was quite badly blocked and after a trachy change and some Paracetamol (in case he also had tummy pains) he settled down.I can't imagine the panic a blockage causes. It is not always apparent his discomfort is caused by this and remember, Ryan can't talk so he can't tell us! This was the fourth change this week and it looks as if it could soon be at least a daily event.
He was much better when Rachel came to take him to to his new home. With no proper care package yet in place, it is going to be a 24/7 job for her. He is booked into Martin House again next week. What happens thereafter is something I would rather not contemplate.
