Reunited

After spending the week at grandma's nursing her fever, Cayla is finally home (with an occasional cough). The siblings missed each other so much they couldn't wait to spend time together. I guessed a brief playtime between them would do more good than harm. See how they laughed and held each other's hand. Such a beautiful moment to cherish.

A short recap on C's last discharge. I had completed the necessary hands-on trainings with the home-care nurses and came home with a truckload of machines. Here are our latest additions:

From Top (L to R): Suction machine, oximeter, BIPAP, humidifier
Bought a trolley from IKEA that perfectly accommodates the equipment. It now occupies the space which used to be my bedside drawer.

Resuscitator, syringes, tubes, masks, gloves, sanitizers etc
The low built-in storage next to the trolley now stores the consumables... lots of them! No more space for oxygen cylinder so we had to keep it elsewhere. 

Apart from the daily suctioning, C has gradually resumed his oral feed and soft diet (moderately blended meat and vegetables with porridge). He has also been scheduled for another videofluoroscopy session in early August to re-assess his ability to swallow. We hope C maintains his health and continues to enjoy his privilege to eat.

Next to consider - a proper stroller to ferry C and his equipment. Costly!! >_<

Big smile from Caelen! Lots of love ♡
