Hi Valerie glad to hear they have found what seems to be the problem hopefully his temperature will come down and he will resume getting back to a state of health whereby he can sit up at the side of the bed xx
It’s such a rollercoaster ride, for both of you. It’s is so good that you are both in a positive frame of mind, it really is what gets patients through this surgery . I hope the leak closes soon & that Pete feels much better. Which hospital did he have is surgery in? ( if in UK). My husband had his Ivor Lewis in Southampton University Hospital, where his care was truly amazing , they kept treating him against the odds, I was told too many times that he wouldn’t survive, but he has!
Hi Val and Pete, yes ups and downs............but keep your spirits up, he is over the difficult bit, the op, and there will be steps back from time to time, then big steps forward.
It’s all a bit of one step forward then another back. But he is getting there. Very few of us sail through, he is doing well tho I doubt he thinks so at the moment. Everything crossed he comes home soon. I am glad he wants to sit up and move around that’s good. Wish him well and hug for you Lizzy
Ahh bless him. Hopefully it will heal soon. Least he will get nourishment from the feed. I was unable to get anything down for 3.5 weeks, then i had a stretch. We are all different. Stay positive and well
