Hope all turns out OK Cliff, best wishes from all down here.
Not out of the woods yet. :(
Today he is running a fever & that means he has an infection so they aren't going to do anything while he has that. :cool:
Also, docs have looked at X-rays & ultra-sounds & think that a stint may not be good enough.
They will do the dye in the blood treatment & decide tomorrow but there is now a good chance that he will have to be transfered to a different hospital to be cut open next week. :eek:
I had a talk to him on the phone & he is not in any hurry to be out of there yet.
Waiting waiting waiting...... :mad:
I will be away from the computer til next week so you'll all have to hold your breath til then. :o
G'day.
I tried earlier but the BB wasn't working too well. :cool:
Dad had major surgery today.
Heart valve repair & major artery repair using parts pinched from elsewhere in his body.
The doc says "it went well for an old fart." :confused:
He was kept very cold & had a heap of his own blood in a bag next to him slowly draining back into him while he was brought back up to normal body temp.:eek:
They reckon they will have him up & walking tomorrow... I'm looking forward to talking to him again. :)
He is not out of the woods yet but there is hope.
G'day Cliff,
That sounds great Cliff. Keep us up to speed, because while there's nothing I/we can do you've got our support and hope that he pulls through to a full recovery.
Sounds promising, hope all continues to go well
Thanks blokes; Mum sounded positive on the phone tonight, she was sounding very worn out in the last couple of days.
Where there is hope there is fire......... great to hear some encouraging news.
Pete
Good
Better news Cliff. I'm glad he seems to be on the mend again. :)
It's amazing what they can do theses days.
G'day Cliff,
Just found this thread. :o
My thoughts are with you and your father at this time. Hoping for the very best outcome.
Regards,
Barry.
Sounding positive Cliff. :)
Hope this all works out well, Cliff
Cheers
Hey Cliff,
just caught up with the thread, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Best Regards
Andrew
all fingers crossed, Cliff.
Good luck Cliff with your Dad's recovery,hopefully he'll be up and around & giving you some cheek soon.
It's major surgery for sure but with the great doctors and medical facilities we have in this country he'll be there for you and your family to enjoy many more years of his company.:)
All the best
cheers:)
Well he is still with us. :)
Has been up for 2 walks around the ward today, has had a bit to eat & drink & his heart has taken over so they have turned off the external pacemaker. (but left it attached just in case)
So far there are no leaks.
Great news Cliff!
Excellent news Cliff:)
Good to hear, Cliff :)
Only just caught up with this thread, Ginge. Sounds like your Dad is on the mend. Great news! Hope it all works out for him and all the rest of your family.
Great to hear.
Pete
Cliff,
My thoughts are with you mate.
My old man is 87 had 3 strokes, the old lady is as silly as a wheel - oldtimers disease!.
Had my share of scares and so are you - treasure every moment, some of us are lucky enough to still have them around.
Glad to hear things are on the up but we are all only a tap on the shoulder away so remember:
There is too much fun too be had!!
Jamie
Good to hear Cliff.
Glad to hear he's up and about. Makes you realise that you should enjoy every chance you can to keep in touch. Lost both my parents and there is such a hole left in my life but great memories.
Cheers Cliff
Glad to hear that things are looking better for your Father Cliff
Great news Cliff. Lets hope his recovery continues just as positively.
Yay!!! Very Good news Cliff!
cheers
Wendy

I just got to talk to him on the phone for the first time since the operation; he didn’t want to take the call ‘cos he is short of breath but the nurse made him, told him it would be good for him.
They are making him get up & go for walks too & I get the impression that he doesn’t enjoy that much. :D
Mum & one of my brothers are there with him at present so I spoke to Mum as well.
She says he is still in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) but he may be moved out this afternoon or tomorrow.
It is good to hear his voice again.
Good to hear :)
Wont be long till he's giving you cheek. I'm guessing you got your sense of humour from him??????
G'day Cliff,
That's excellent to read that he's on the mend. :cool:
missed this thread altogether... sounds like hell pull through Cliff.
add my fingers to the list mate.
