Wait and Watch

Fintan returned to the Royal London on Wednesday (21 March) for his EUA and second application of cryotherapy. Unfortunately, it is still not obvious whether the treatment was successful and it has been decided to have his next EUA in 6 weeks; as the area they are currently looking at is so small this timescale would allow any tumour activity that may occur to make itself more evident. Should he need anymore treatment it would most likely be a radioactive plaque.

Wacky Races again!

However, Fintan remains fit and well and his energy levels exceed all other family members! He was incredibly good having his anaesthetic this time - we had reverted back to the face mask to administer his gas following the disastrous attempt last time to use a cannula in the back of his hand. Fintan stated he was "not going to cry and be very brave" and kept repeating this to the amusement of the anaesthetic team - he was very calm going to sleep and when he came round from his anaesthetic he was also much calmer and in a better mood!

Post anaesthetic grub!

Since our last visit to the Royal London, we have all been on Fintan's special Make-A-Wish trip to DisneyWorld Florida and had an absolutely fantastic time! We are all hoping to make a return visit some time in the future.

Barnaby also celebrated his 8th Birthday on Thursday and we are looking forward to his party tomorrow afternoon!
