Finally - an update

Hi everyone,

We have been quite busy, so no updates for a while. In the last few days a lot has happened, so let me get you up to date.
First of all Noah got moved to Rotterdam, to the Sophia Children's Hospital. He had a good move, but had to be quarantined upon arrival. We hadn't realised this, but the Netherlands is very worried about MRSA, a multi resistant disease that often causes chaos in hospitals. So until he is checked for this disease he has to be in a special room, and the nurses and doctors have to be almost completely suited up (mask, gown, gloves and hair mask). This doesn't affect Noah at all, it is just very strange to see.
They have changed a few things in Rotterdam compared to Leuven, which was a bit worrying, because they didn't tell us much about it. I had a long talk with 4 doctors yesterday in which they explained all the plans, reasons, etc. This helped a lot to take away our worries. They also told me they are going to have a look in Noah's throat today (Friday), to examine the blockage in detail. Based on the results they will be able to tell us something about possible treatments.

Louise has been in with mastitis (milk gland infection), which is very painful and gave her a very high fever. So she hasn't been able to visit Noah in Rotterdam yet, and she really misses him by now. She has been prescribed penicillin, so hopefully she will able to visit after the weekend. I have had to go back to work, so that also meant less time for me, but I can visit Noah after work or in the evening.

Hopefully more news soon,

Thijs
