not feeding at all really during our admission, hard to proove this to nurses as he was breastfeeding. when drs did rounds in the morning he smiled happily however by the tuesday lunchtime he had lost 1/2 kg and his fontanelle was dipped so they inserted an ng tube for feeding. ultarsound scheduled for the following day.
we were sent to st hellier for ultarsound as paediatric radiologist was away, they did this and then followed up with an xray before suggesting that Tom should join me as they would do a ct scan that afternoon.
arrived back at epsom around 7pm where the drs had waited for us to tell us they had found an unknown mass in his abdomen and we had an appointment at Great Ormond Street Hospital(GOSH) the next day
after a long night we were transported to GOSH by ambulance where the ultrasound was repeated, and an initial appointment with the oncology team had. after a long wait we met again to learn they had decided at their multidiciplinary meeting that this was most likely a benign lymphatic malformation sometimes called a lymphangioma or cystic hygroma
we returned to epsom with relief to learn how to tube feed and were discharged on the 28th
