Hugh's Journey
3 May 2024
Hi everyone, so Hugh had his surgery on the 29th to remove the tumour.
Unfortunately the surgery had complications, and ended up being a 9hr process. He had extensive bleeding needing multiple units of blood, ultimately they needed to remove his spleen. You can live without a spleen but it does leave you with lifelong issues and you are extremely prone to blood infections etc.
Post- Op he became acute with pneumonia settling in his left lung, and a new blood infection. He is currently having scan number 2 in as many days with a decision needing to be made about whether to take him back to theatre. There is also a pooling of pancreatic juices that needs to be addressed if there is a perforation in his pancreas.
We are so grateful for all of the prayer warriors.
