So I might have been a bit drunk last time I (Cat-Daddy) posted... which might have been the long one with the cat photos...
But today I am not - I am at TVNZ 'working'.
No surgery yesterday as many of you will have heard by now. The only thing that could have got in the way was an emergency, and it did... an adult heart which had been tranpsplanted into a new adult body did not respod and the surgeons had to keep the adult heart's new body on bypass... until they could get the adult heart to start doing its thing in its new environs.
Bypass is when the heart is stopped and the surgical team are using multiple devices to extract blood from the body, thin it, oxegenate it, warm it, thicken it again and return it to the body. When Osacr is in surgery we will get an 'off bypass' phone call letting us know when Oscar's heart is all go again after being on bypass, and the more complex matters in the surgery have been completed.
Anyway, no surgery yet and still waiting for the doctor's regular rounds this morning... and still waiting to find out when our next chance for surgery is - we can now call them 'chances' rather than 'bookings', I think!
Standing Oh So By.
... as we say to Oscar when he is a lil grizzly, 'no poblem'.
hang in there guys!
