In general ward now, and smiling



Tian You has been transferred to general ward (out of high dependency unit) at the hospital and is doing well. His wounds are healing ( a little slowly ), but he is generally recovering. He is now eating some porridge, and can digest his milk well. Our staff Lucy, is now staying with him overnight, and she says that he gets upset if she leaves the room for a few minutes. He's smiling more (see pic), but still cries on occasion. He's also still taking pain relief meds, and antibiotics. The surgeon tells us that because his pelvic bones are not normally formed either (amongst all his problems) and this happens with this kind of condition, there is a lot of tension along the wound, hence the difficulty for it to heal.
