Return to 5100....

Day 3 @ PICU went really well, ATG went at full speed and no real problems with the man at all. He was heard to be batting eyelashes and laughing and carrying on with the girls in the PICU this morning. I have told him not to forget where his bread is buttered and that he had best be remembering all the nurses and nurses assistants who take care of us in 5100. I think he got the drift because he was a bit smiley for them too! He was not nearly excited enough to see his Mama and I've had a word to him about that as well LOL . Obviously, we are back in the room in the 5100 Ward.
Dr Markert was in this morning and all is looking really well. Rocky is in great shape and things are all set for Thursday. The operation itself is expected to last approximately 2 hours. At this stage they think they will cut into both thighs to get all the tissue in.
The date for the biopsy (to see if the cells are doing what they should) will be set following the operation, and we hope it will be in a few months at the latest. It takes a good 2 to 3 months for the cells to be educated.
We are feeling great and very very excited as the day draws nearer, Rocky is as cheeky as ever so I know he is in great spirits too. Things have fallen into place nicely.
To everyone who has sent messages of support and love along the way, thank you so very much, you have made such a difference and helped keep us strong. Please, keep praying for the Man that bit longer. We love you. xoxox
