Big Family Health problems.

Hi all, I'm afraid I havn't blogged very much lately, due to us volunteering to run the Honda CX-GL MCC SW (N Devon) Rally. As well as recently having our son admitted to the Hospital emergency unit, where a day later he had emergency Surgery to remove a large Cyst from his spine. Right after the operation he contracted Pneumonia and has been in the ICU unit ever since. On our visit today his breathing was much improved and staff were pleased with his progress. The biggest problem is since the operation Roy has lost all feeling from the Waist down, this is very worrying to all. Doctors are very non commital about the level of feeling that may (or not) return.
As soon as we know more I will post again.
Sue-Bob.

Please know that you are all in my thoughts. I can't imagine how worrying it must be for everyone and I hope for a full and quick recovery for Roy.
Take care.

So sorry to hear this. Perhaps they bumped something close to the spine or they pinched off a nerve. Also if he was given a spinal for the surgery, it sometimes takes a while for all of that to wear off.

We'll keep your son and your family in our prayers.
