Oh hun, I'm sorry

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
