George was looking and feeling much better this morning, and his breathing rate was more normal, so all those prayers and storming heaven did some good! We had a comprehensive brief from the (outgoing) consultant and have a high confidence that George will pull through, though there is still a hill to climb before we can breathe a sigh of relief. I was wrong in saying that there was an infection on his Hickmann line – they found an infection in his blood which they identified from samples taken through his Hickmann line; they removed the line as a precaution. This was, they think, a gut bug which penetrated his system when his defenses were low – they think there is also a chest bug which is being combatted.
More news tonight.

  2. Saying the Order prayer over & over last night was a good plan then; note to self: apply to other yucky areas of life as required.

    THANK GOD (literally)! Keep on keeping on.

  6. George..lo dicevo io che sei un combattente autentico!!!Hai forza da vendere!ok..ora posso fare un sospiro di sollievo..n troppo accentuato..ma siamo sulla buona strada per farne uno bello grande!
    Allora stanotte le mie preghiere sono state scoltate da qualcuno…non c’è dubbio a riguardo.
    Ancora un bello sforzo e poi andrà meglio, eh?
