Bit of a technical hitch

Hello everyone

I have been trying to post a blog for DAYS but the computers in the uni library havent liked the 'blogger' website. It seems to be working this time though!

Over the weekend Charlotte had to be ventilated again as her breathing became, yet again, too difficult for her to manage. This was because she had too much fluid in her body and it had filled parts of her lungs. There was some talk of her having pneumonia, but i think that turned out to be untrue.... in any case, she's much better now!

She was supposed to be moved last monday, but because she was still unstable from the weekend the move was delayed. A party was planned for her on Sunday night as a 'leaving do' but of course she wasnt well enough, so now there are tonnes of party poppers and sweeties in my mum's room waiting to be put to use! She'll hopefully be moved early next week. There is a chance she could get moved tomorrow! But as yet no-one can really say.

She is going to Great Ormond Street even though they were reluctant to take her because she has so many things to be dealt with.

All of her skin grafting areas are healing well, and areas which were deprived of fat and tissue and muscle are starting to 'plump out' a bit which is fantastic. Unfortunatley her kidneys are still not functioning well. It looks as thoug this will be a long-term problem for Charlotte but we're waiting to see what the renal specialists at Great Ormond Street say about this.

On the whole she is doing well :)

i'll find out more and try and keep the blogs a bit mroe up-to-date from now on!
