So after signing consent forms on Tuesday afternoon,y husband got the call at 1.30pm to say they had a liver for him

He went down to theatre at 4.35

All things going well, he should be done by 2am

Keeping everything crossed for him, the hardest bit is being at home while he is in theatre

I was @ the hospital when my partner was in theatre but I was alone so you're probably better off in familiar surroundings. Just try to think about the different life you're both going to have shortly. I also kept thanking the donor family for this amazing gift.

Stay positive & keep us up to date. xx

Fantastic news. I hope all goes well and he has a speedy recovery. Remember though, no rushing to do things. It has to be slowly slowly everyday he will think he can move the world but don't let him. Enjoy the new life together this has given you, everyday is a new day . Good luck in your future, stay strong and keep positive. X😊

He has had a slight bleed during the night, but is stable & it has slowed down but we were told it was a possibility

Will he having an ultrasound

To top it off I ended up at the vets at 3am with our 15yr female black tabby cat. They think she has had a stroke, my hubby will be devastated if she passes away before he is home as he doesn't know.

Hoping this is the last of the 3 things to happen, my dad had a heart attack on Friday 13th April thankfully he is doing well

It's never rains when it pours does it!!!

Possible date for my hubby coming home is Friday depending on bloods taken that day

Still in shock at how quick it happened

Think it will take a few weeks for it to sink in, bit he looks good, go his baby blues back xx
