Gordon Update

Hello everyone.
Gordon went for his operation at 9.30am and was gone for three and a half hours.
DO you beleive in miracles because what i am going to tell you all now just has to be one.
The surgeon could not find the aneurism it had simply disappeared from anywhere on his brain.
The only explanation the surgeon could give was that because of the amount of blood that had exploded over the wall of the brain a few droplets had fallen onto the brain and had formed the shape of an aneurism. He is amazed by this.
He has told Gordon that he is out of danger and he will just be kept on stroke observation for 24 hours because of the way that the keyhole surgery is perfomed.
Tomorrow they are going to do an M.R.I scan on him to try and find the cause of the aneurism that caused the bleed on Tuesday so again as soon as i get home tomorrow i will let you all know.
Twenty minutes after he returned onto the ward Gordon was tucking into sandwiches yoghurt and crisps and a cornetto icecream ( he loves ice cream ) and was yacking away to us all just like his usual self.
I never slept a wink last night and i dont think Gordon did either so tonight we have promised each other that we will sleep like logs.
Lasy night i was not expecting a good outcome and i think i spent most of the night sitting in the kitchen just filled with fear and numbness.
Tonight i am still sitting in the kitchen but with a heart full of hope and just crying with happiness and relief and i know i will sleep.
Thank you everyone who sent messages of support i am going to read them all now but wanted to let you all know the great news first.
Love and Smiles Rob Gordon and Harry ( who is with his aunty Michelles) xxx

  27. That's BRILLIANT news Robert. Now that the worst appears to have passed, make sure you take care of yourself, as well as Gordon. It's all too easy to spend time looking after your loved one, and neglecting yourself.

  35. Hi Robert

    I've only just heard about Gordon (Karen posted on Do crafts). It was such a shock. It's a relief to read your update. I don't get into the shop as often as I did when you were in Chesterfield (it was too convenient when I worked next door) but you've all been very helpful to me over the years and Gordon often used to give my son little bits to encourage him in his crafting. Please give my love to Gordon and you are both in my prayers. Take care of yourself too. Love Dawn x
