Day 4: Thursday 26/04/2012
During the night Sergio pulled out his trachea and the emergency alarm was sounded. Thankfully all the doctors stormed into his room and quickly replaced the trachea back in. Poor Sergio got a fright indeed. Everyone here is saying that Sergio is very active and is constantly moving around in his bed. Some bad news in the afternoon; lab results came back and showed that Sergio has a fever. A decision was then made to postpone tomorrow’s Foker operation until next Wednesday instead.

The schedule today was rather busy for Sergio. It started early with a Picc line needing to be inserted into his arm (he pulled it out afterwards!). Then it was straight off to another floor for a Cat scan of the brain. Dr Jennings was waiting to perform a gap study in another room. We were allowed to stay in the room to witness this procedure.

Sergio went for an early sleep after listening to some Irish music on the tin whistle. We must enjoy and cherish...

However he was still smiling during play time before going to sleep for the night. Muchos médicos vinieron hoy a que les conocieramos. El equipo médico es muy amplio aquí en Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. Sergio...

Arrived safe and sound in Children’s Hospital Boston. Fair play to Sergio as he has been taking everything in his stride with a smile always on his face. The enormous size of the hospital is mind boggling. We were introduced to Sergio’s surgical doctor who is Dr. Jennings. The team made us feel very welcome to their hospital. Sergio was quite tired after such an adventurous day and feel asleep rather quickly in his bed. What a day! Llegamos sanos y salvos en el Hospital de Niños de Boston. Sergio vivio todo en su paso con una sonrisa siempre en su rostro. El enorme...
