i only jusat found out as have been all morning without my mobile. he got the hospital to ring his mum and tell her, as he didnt want me to worry and keep dd1 off school (like i would, i send her in as long as she isnt upset andi would've have told her anyway). They thought he may need to go back to ITU afterwards, but they managed to remove it without a genreal anasethic. am going to see him later. my poor man, he is really going through it atm.
