The last couple of days have been a tough rollercoaster ride for us as the doctors tried to figure out what the best would be for Ollie. So sorry that we haven't been posting during this time, but it's been a bit confusing and trying.
Ollie will go for his 2nd operation tomorrow. This time they will do a so-called banding, where they tie the pulmonary arteries to reduce the flow through them and so protect the lungs. Although it is a bit earlier than the doctors anticipated, it is clear that he is struggling to breathe and to keep his oxygen levels high enough. While all operations carry risk, the fact that Ollie's left lung doesn't look too great on radiographs, increases his risk.
We are concerned, but know that this is a necessary step for him to improve. Thank you again for so much support from all our friends and even people we don't know, who have been touched by Ollie's story. Please stand with us as we say in humble thankfulness that we recognise every moment with Ollie as a precious gift, but also believe and trust that we will have many more.
