My 7yr old Grandson Louis is to have surgery for a brain tumour tomorrow we are all distressed and trying to stay positive here as they live abroad.

Please give him positive thoughts or a prayer if you could please
Thank you

Thanks for that Ashcombe I hadn’t seen it what a coincidence I might just wear my straw hat in the house as I’ve no plans tomorrow.

Thanks all for sticking with me

Louis was very confused and disoriented this morning and he’s having Morphine so is mostly still sleeping, most distressing was they had to restrain his hands to stop him pulling out the IV or drain I can only imagine how hard that is.
I imagined he would wake and be his old self but of course after brain surgery it’s not that simple as I’ve just discovered. Hopefully my next update will have better news. I was going to ask for the thread to be locked or deleted as my original post was re the surgery but realise you may want to hear his outcome so I’ll keep updating for now.

I hope Louis is recovering well, such a long operation must need a lot of strength.

I keep popping back this morning Tanith to hear that little Louis is awake and has a twinkle in his eye.

Oh my goodness tanith, what wonderful news! I’m so pleased to hear all went well. It must have been an agonising wait for you all day, but so worth it to hear the news you’d been hoping and praying for.
Praying that Louis will be restored to full health very soon ?. And praying that it won’t be long till you get to see him again and give him that hug that I know your arms are aching for x
