...Today is the day that Maisie is going to be admitted once again to Grosvenor B children's ward at the Royal London Hospital, in preparation for her second open reduction. I eagerly awaited for 9am to come so i could ring the admissions office to make sure there was a bed for Maisie. Once it was 9am, i rang the admissions office and the woman who answered said that she would have to speak to the bed manager and get back to me. So i waited an hour then rang her back, with needing to know so we can travel to London, there was still no news, but said she would ring as soon as she heard back. She rang back about 50 minutes later and confirmed there was a bed for Maisie and confirmed we could be on the ward for 3pm...
....Once again we are staying at The Sick Children's Trust - Stevenson House, after dropping our bags off, nipped to the shop, then got Maisie to the ward on time. After going through all the paperwork with the nurse, Maisie's surgeon came to see us and explained that Maisie should be taken to theatre between 10-10.30am, she did say that they will know a lot more once they have her opened up and are inside, while they are in they will be taking tissue and bone samples to be sent off to the microbiologist, which provided they come back OK, then it will be possible if needed to for Maisie to have a Femoral Osteotomy at her 6 week cast change. It was explained that if there was a slight infection, then putting the hardware in could make it worse, so we have to wait and see. Also she would be cleaning her hip bones. Maisie had settled herself into the ward pretty much straight away and was really enjoying running around the ward...
Ms Maizen - the surgeon left a lovely drawing on Maisie's left leg...
