Positive thoughts and prayers if you could please

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

That's brilliant Tanith hope you will be able to have a good sleep now ?

Great news. You've been on my mind all day. ?

Delighted for your grandson and all the family to read this update.

Such good news, hope all continues well.

You’ve made my day Tanith with the good news about little Louis. So relieved for you and the family.

I hope Louis had a good night and that you managed to get some sleep Tanith.

Very good news Tanith, for you and all your family ?

That is good news!

So pleased to hear this Tanith.

Wonderful news! Such a relief for you all.

So pleased to hear this good news.

Just read this thread Tanith. As my DGC live abroad, I can just imagine the extra worry that goes with it. So pleased for the good news. Big hug x

Wondered if you had seen this, Tanith?

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

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

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.

Thank you for updating Tanith. We have a couple of 7 year olds so can imagine how distressing it is for you. Sending gentle hugs.

Thanks for the update Tanith. We are all willing Louis through this. What a distressing time for you all. Poor wee boy. Its very early days yet and I'm sure he's having the very best of care.

One thing is he won’t remember any of the days immediately after surgery, so restraining his hands is distressing but not to him.

Ever onwards!

On bless him it will all be very confusing for him hopefully when anaesthetic drugs are out of his system he will be more aware of what's happening xx

Great news that he came out of the operation well, tanith

That's the hard part over!

Natural to be a tad groggy and agitated after such an op.

Do let us know how he progresses.

Thank you Tanith for the update. I’m sure you’ll be relieved when the drugs wear off and Louis becomes more himself again.
Please don’t take down the thread unless you want to. I’m amazed at how much we’ve all got to ‘know’ each other and care about others and their families.
Of course we will all want to hear as Louis progresses and to share the joy that will follow this period of worry and heartache for you.

Pleased to hear Louis is awake

tanith please do keep updating us. We are willing him well.
My DH was on morphine in hospital recently to help him cope with pain from broken ribs. He too was very disoriented, talked about being moved to a different ward (he wasn’t) about having not seen the physio (he had) he was very forgetful and not himself at all. The morphine can do that so try not to be too worried. Hoping he is more himself soon.
