My husband is having emergency brain surgery, hand hold needed

[NewbieSM]

So my husband has hydrocephalus with a couple shunt fitted, has had it for nearly 20 years. This morning he woke up with a 10/10 headache, vomiting and blurred vision. CT scan showed very enlarged ventricles and a blocked shunt. He went in to theatre at 4pm to replace the shunt -normally a 2 hour procedure. His surgeon called me at 7pm saying that he has had a haemorrhage after they put the new shunt in, he's still in surgery now. I am absolutely terrified that I'm going to lose him, he's only 33 and has two you daughters I can't believe this is happening. Please mumsnetters I don't post here much but feel so scared and alone. He is the love of my life and I can't do this without him

Sweetheart. I have everything crossed for you both xx

Handhold from me.

Really hope everything is ok- thinking of you both xxx

Another handhold here. Hope you get some positive news soon xx

Just need to hear that he is ok, I will never ask for a single thing again if I can just have that reassurance

This seems like a fair deal!

I've asked similar before, and it's worked out. And in this case he's got youth, a healthy lifestyle and the miracles of modern medicine on his side. Not to mention you outside rooting for him.

Sending positive vibes and a handhold

I will say a prayer for him and keep everything crossed that he makes a full recovery xx

Thinking of you.

Aww op, fingers crossed you get some positive news soon.

Handhold and some for you OP.

I'm not someone to pray but have just asked the big fella to help you out tonight.
