TBH, as soon as I saw your thread, I didn't have much hope. But, given the fact that he survived the surgery, I think you have definite reason to hope. The aorta is such a major body part that I think the surgery would've been the biggest risk, but he's obviously strong enough to have gotten through it, so that's a VERY good sign
With regards to the kidneys, I'm not a doctor, but they may come good again once the shock to the body has worn off, KWIM? I'm hoping the same would be true of his brain - our bodies are amazing things, with amazing coping mechanisms, so hopefully he just needs some time to recover.
I don't know if you're a spiritual person, but you're in my prayers chicky
Thanks girls, thankyou for keeping us in your prayers, SG I was a lot more spiritual as I was growing up, was quite involved, but as I went through Uni and beyond I lost that part of my life and haven't really gone back, but I am really feeling that I need to return.
We are hopeful that he is stable, that he can remain stable for a few days at least, getting through the surgery was the biggest milestone, hopefully there will be many more to come.
My sis let me know that the Dr's had just recently been to a conference on developments in heart surgery, so we are hopefull that this has had a positive impact.
Oh Beema *hugs* my thoughts are with your family tonight. I am not a medical person, but that he's out of surgery must be a good thing.
And I hear you on the spirituality, I've had leanings that way myself lately.
From what I know, people who suffer this (usually from an accident) don't usually survive because its too late to repair. The fact they got him in surgery and HAVE repaired it is an amazing sign to me. It can take awhile for the body to recover, I'd say it's not over yet my friend.
The kidneys may have taken a hit, but they can take the pressure off - it's wonderful he has stabilised. Healing wishes heading over to Scotland right now xoxoxo
