Very quick update but just to let everyone know Lyall went to theatre at lunchtime and the surgeon was delighted with how the graft had healed. He was then taken off the ventilator and came out of theatre breathing for himself through his nose and mouth, something he hasn't done since he was 7 months old.
He is still very drowsy and needs his sedation to be weaned slowly as he has become a bit dependent on it and they don't want him to suffer withdrawal symptoms.
The most magical moment was when he opened his eyes looked at us both and said "mummy"
There have been lots of tears from us and also from staff on PICU who have been part of our lives since he was tiny. We cannot thank the LGI enough for all they have done for Lyall.
