Rather quiet night for Gabriel. At one point I woke up with a start, the machine was beeping and his saturation was low. He’d lost his nasal oxygen catether.
Today, it’s Amelia and Geraldine who are by his side.
Manuela, still bothered by her conjunctivitis, learned that it was probably a bacterial rather than a viral infection.
At home, we did a thorough cleaning with the help of a professional: mattresses, curtains and sofas were all washed to clean up the environment.
As far as the PGC is concerned, confirmation is in: it hasn’t been accepted in its entirety, but the essentials are there. I’ll say more when I have more details. But I believe, for example, that we don’t have a home care assistant.
The pneumologist was in today. According to him, Gabriel’s cough is caused by a small, harmless virus. (I haven’t seen the test results).
The latest CT scan shows improvement in atelectasis, and bronchiolitis obliterans remains stable.
Cautiously, he even raised the possibility that Gabriel could, within a year, go without oxygen if his treatment continues without complications or new infections.
An encouraging prospect, even if we know there’s still a long way to go.
In the evening, we had a nice surprise: Bastien, Gabriel’s godfather, arrived from France to support us for two weeks. It was a great pleasure to see him again.
Tonight, Gabriel sleeps with Geraldine and me.
Good night to all.
