"To be or not to be" - that was the question!
So, we arrived in Bristol bright and early to meet with the surgeon and sign the consent forms for the operation today. We finally met with him at 13:00 when he mentioned he had just completed one major open heart operation, had another quick emergency heart op to perform and then he would get to Lydia, at around 15:30. This came and went, 16:30 came and went and then at 17:00 we got news from the theatre that all hadn't been so straight forward with the emergency case after all and Lydia wouldn't be having her operation today! By this time Lydia was pretty hungry I can tell you! As soon as we heard the news, I wooshed a good helping of Helen's "gold top" milk down her nose tube and she soon settled down! We met with the surgeon again and he explained that he has now booked her in for her operation on Friday at 13:30. It was quite a day today, but we really appreciated knowing many of you were thinking and praying for us. If you could do the same on Friday, we would be very grateful! Thanks guys!
