After unclamping the drain it was soon discovered that it had stopped working and Dylan was having difficulty breathing and tachycardic. Undressing the drain showed a blockage of blood clots and gunk, presumably from the pleurodisis.
After attempting to flush it 3 times, which was massively distressing for Dylan, it was deemed it was working 'a little' and his oxygen was turned up to compensate.
He is still comfortable this morning so unless things worsen we are awaiting the specialists to be back in tomorrow.
And to top it all off, my eldest now has chicken pox and he was here visiting yesterday!!
