Sam |
Sam had a gangrenous perforated appendix removed Friday night having been unwell for a few days. The surgery went ok and relatively easily considering the placement of it under his pelvis, its long length and how nasty the appendix was.
Since then Sam has become very unwell and weak. He has developed paralytic illus (paralysis of the gut) which has meant Sam's stomach has become swollen with fluid and bile causing difficulty with breathing, causing bad pain and vomiting. Sam has also got localised peritonitis (infection of his peritoneum) which if it does not respond to treatment could make Sam even more unwell.
At this time Sam is in hospital under the care of the doctors and nurses; with his parents Joy and Nigel. They would really appreciate your prayers at this time.
This blog has been st up as a point of contact and to allow Joy & Nigel to update everyone when there is any news; there by not having to answer individual texts/emails/WhatsApp messages.
They really have appreciated all the love and prayers from everyone.
