the cannula tube from his left ventricle has a pretty large dent in it. it started small a few weeks ago and was told to keep an eye on it. today the dent is bigger, so he has had to go back in. he had to take everything with him, all spare machines, batteries, medication, overnight bag etc. no idea what they will propose, to replace the tube means open heart surgery and long recovery time.

thank you.

he is in bed, absolutly shattered from todays events really.

he has been swabbed for infection as the site is looking a bit sore. his case is beign re-presented again to transplant team & surgeons, and just back to waiting. am hoping the tube doesnt give up completely.
