Well yesterday, Sophie had her first bronchoscopy and all went really well. The only problem we had was that the doctor had given her a pre-med and when she came round from the anaesthetic she was quite violent and very disorientated. I don't think we'd opt for it again before an anaesthetic!
Her iv's have started, Tobramycin and Aztreonam and we are going

We're home!!!
Got back late last night and it's wonderful. Sophie is so much more relaxed and is hardly bothering when having her IV's.
Back to business. As mentioned on the previous post, Soph was given a large dose of midazolam prior to her anaesthetic where as normally she would just go cold turkey. This caused her to come round from the ...

Disclaimer to friends and family: Tomorrow I have a bronchoscopy, a procedure required many many many times post-transplant, that is not a big deal most of the time. Tomorrow is one of those times. In fact, I'm sorta looking forward to it because I haven't been sleeping well lately, and surely I will sleep well tomorrow, day and night! :) Today's
