Darren, Stacey and Reeceyboy have been sat in A & E all day today, Reece's line came out completely this am, so no line, it did not bleed back so all is OK as far as that is concerned. As Antonino was in theatre he has only just managed to see him. We are gob smacked by his decision today, it goes some thing like this, he may not have a vein to insert the new line into so therefore it has been decided to send Reece HOME WITHOUT a line in, and be in constant contact with Antonino on his state of health. He wants to give him a go without one in but should Reece falter he will go back on Friday have an ultra sound on his main archery's  and take it from there. So this means Reece is experiencing a drop to 1 nights TPN this week. I do not see how he can do it myself, the poor lad is well suffering as it is. Anyway he is coming here for the next 2 nights as I am on rest days so will try and do our best to maintain his weight. Wish him luck please, this is a massive challenge for Reece, the only reason I think they are sending him home to test him is that with his restricted diet he will get more choice at home than  will be available in there for him.

Wishing all the best
love and kisses for the little fella xx

Antonino called this morning to see how he is and after a little discussion it has been decided that Reece really needs to give this his best shot at not having TPN again, this is due to many factors, Antonino thinks it will be very hard to get another line into him and it is time to go for it so to speak. So there we go, this is the time we have all been dreading but at the same want so very much. Ideally it would have been better to slowly stop the TPN but now the line is out we have no choice. There are only 5 (I think) main veins that can be used before having to enter the chest cavity through the ribs, this is only done in extreme cases so we really want this to work because if Reece has no veins we don't want that to happen to him and like I said this is his 13 or 14th line. This is the longest Reece will have gone without a line as when he has had to have new ones he always went into hospital, had it removed then went on intravenous drips for a day or so until the new line was fitted, also it is the first time we have ever had him home with no line. He still has his gastrostomy in so we may have to try feeds through that if he starts to dehydrate.

All other words fail me, at the moment.
