Fintan will have a Radioactive Plaque inserted into his right eye - a small disc containing radioactive material which will be stitched to the outer surface of the eye. This will remain in place for a couple of days, during which time he will have to remain in isolation. It will then be removed, again under anaesthetic, and he will be safe to come home!
The plaque will be inserted next Wednesday and he should be back home some time over the weekend. James will probably stay with Fintan for this treatment - I think I have done more than my fair share of hospital stays in the past and I have the pleasure of taking Fintan to Wycombe Hospital for his circumcision in a couple of weeks!! May will not be a good month for poor Fintan!
News of this treatment was no surprise and we are almost relieved that it is starting - hopefully this will sort out the problem in this eye and we can start looking forward to having longer gaps between Fintan's check-ups.
As always, Fintan was a star yesterday - a little grumpy at times, but post anaesthetic a much anticipated bag of crisps did the magic trick and put a smile back on his face!
Play time!
Even the pretend food is tempting when you are this hungry!
A little pre-op rest
Some well deserved crips...mmmm
