The initial op went to plan, but Sam's recovery took a downward turn on Wednesday when they discovered that another small hole had appeared due to the pressure caused by patching the 1st one. They took him back to theatre that day, and things went a bit haywire from there. Last night it was touch and go whether he would make it. By this time he also had a partially collapsed lung.
However, he's made of strong stuff thank God, and this morning he had rallied. And is now hopefully on the slow journey to good health.
Thanks everyone

Thank goodness, ninathenana. Thanks for letting us know, we had been worried! Positive thoughts to Samuel and his family from me. 
What a time you have had nina! I hope Samuel continues to rally.
Nina That's wonderful to hear Samuel has rallied and all the very best for his continued recovery.
My thoughts are with you and young Samuel ninathenana. My son is named Samuel its a good strong name. Power to the doctors and nurses fighting alongside him.
nina thanks for letting us know how Samuel is getting on. How scared you must all have been, and thankfully he is on the mend now. Such precious tots they are. Sending lots of positive (((vibes))) for his recovery, and will you please keep us up to speed with how he's doing?
Sorry for the delayed update I've been at DD since last Sunday with elder DGS and the dog !! Their desk top was passworded, and I don't possess a smart phone.
Phew nina this has been a long week for you. Best wishes for continued improvement
Such a stressful time for you all ...pleased to hear he is rallying ...take care of yourself ninathenana too
My thoughts are with you nina and all your family. I'm so pleased to hear that Samuel is rallying
nina you could be telling me the story of my Nieces little boy, the collapsed lung everything. He is now 20 months old and you would not think he had been through so much.. They are stronger than you think!!! I know what you are going through but please take a little comfort in our little one. Thinking of you all
What a relief for you all Nina Good wishes for Samuel's continuing recovery.
nina arrows of prayer going above for his recovery!
Thoughts with you and your DD and family and prayers for a happy resolution
I was wondering how Samuel went during his operation and was hoping all had gone well. You must have all been besides yourselves with worry. I am so glad that Samuel is okay. Best wishes
I too was wondering how little Samuel's operation went and was hoping all had gone well. You must have been frantic with worry and I am so pleased that things seem to be settling down now after, what must have been a very frightening post-op problem. Bless him - he is obviously a fighter.
Take care of yourselves as you will soon be run ragged catching up with him!
God bless you all and my prayers for you all will continue
