Recovery

[Lionheart24]

Hello everyone. Mum had the operation and everything went really well, she was out of theatre within 5 hours, absolutely no complications, back into ICU on the ventilator by 6.30pm. She slept through until midnight when they successfully removed the ventilator and gave her oxygen. Bare in mind she has COPD, that’s pretty amazing. This morning I went up to see her and she was awake, very dosed up on pain meds because she’s in a lot of pain which is terrible for me to see because I just want to help but I can’t take the pain away. She was talking in and out of sleep. Doctors, surgeons ect did their tests and were pleased. After all precautions were taken the decision to move mum back down to the ward instead of high care was made. She’s doing very well and we’re all super happy. The first few days are going to be hard for us all but we’re a tough bunch. 😆 once again thank you to everybody I’ll be sure to keep posting throughout the recovery.

Good to hear Mum’s doing so well! She must be so relieved to be on the recovery side - each day she will feel a little better than the one before and then soon back home again 😊Jan

Fantastic news, the road to recovery has started at a great pace. I had my bypass a year ago and was in hospital for both my sons and daughters birthdays and Mothers Day, Its difficult but its clear you have a positive approach which is excellent. Take care both of you and your family xxx
