Slight panic.. But all is well with Age

After seeing Age so brilliant this morning, and staff so delighted with his rapid recovery, the peeps and I went to the movies. Age was meant to be moved into the ward by midday, so we went there straight  away after the flicks were over.
Worried looks and furtive glances at me when I asked where he was sent alarm bells straight away, coupled with the 'there is nothing to be alarmed with, but they need you down at ICU straight away.'... Ekkk
When I got there, I wasn't allowed in as the medical staff were still working on Age. He had stood up and walked to a chair, waiting for the wheelchair to come and get him to take him to the wards, when he collapsed.
He was in a critical state when they got him  to the MRI, but thankfully came round enough to stop them putting a tube down his throat again.
So it was a welcome sight to finally see him when they finally let us in.
He was very drowsy and drifted in and out of consciousness . We stayed a few hours till the nurse told us to have a breather.

His head was a lot more swollen as well.

We returned after the kids had gone to dance practice and were delighted to find he had been moved to the wards.

He is in bed 21 - still in 8 A south.

Age is still very drowsy and has had a few minor seizures.we reckon that They aren't giving him his meds correctly and that they even lost one lot. Which caused a seizure.. Just as well i had some of his normal stuff on hand. I gave it to the nurse who put in the order at pharmacy to get it right .. Hopefully.. I know they are overworked.. And the nursing staff there have been so lovely.

 I got a photo of the kids talking to Age. He is fairly unresponsive, but I reckon he will be back to his cheeky self tomorrow.

Love, visits and good wishes are welcome!

Post Op Age doing well

We got up before the sparrows farted this morning and surprised Age in ICU this morning. His eyes are bright and he has a cheeky manner.. So delightful to see and soak in.

I've see his post op head before, but this time there is more and significant swelling. The photos don't do it justice. However, he is feeling good and we are both very positive.

Being the overachiever he is, his recovery from the op has surprised medical staff... So its possible he will be back in the wards tomorrow. Wow. 

I know his healing has a great deal to do with the positive energy he has surrounding him, sent from friends and loved ones.. So thank you for your blessings and holding us both strong during this time. And.. Lets not forget his own belief and commitment to his healing.. He is as tough as an old boot..

I'll keep you up to date as I have news.
