183211452God transcends time so my prayers will be honored. I pray that the doctor(s) and staff who are caring for him are guided by the hands of our Greatest Physician. I know it is very hard for you and your family not being able to be with him as he recovers so my prayers will include the peace that passes all understanding is with you all and that you are comforted by the best Comforter possible. Please keep us informed.

I am sorry that not all the cancer was able to me removed. I pray that the pain will be gone, after recuperation.

While that is not the best that you could expect, at least he'll be more comfortable once he gets out of the hospital. I'm sure you are grateful for the time he has. This is not an easy road to travel. Remember to take care of your self and do things that reduce your stress level too.
109040Toogie I have been thinking positive thoughts for your brother in law. He is lucky as in the UK all elected ops are cancelled currently and only emergencies are going ahead. Good to get a update during the surgery.

I wouldn’t say lucky. This surgery was needed immediately to save him from being paralyzed. Cancer is aggressively attacking the spine. Here too all ‘scheduled’ surgeries are postponed. Wife could not even go in hospital with him and he will be there days.

Toogie I apologies if I have caused hurt. I know a number locally who have had cancer treatment stopped at the moment due to the pandemic. Do keep us updated with his progress. Our healthcare nurses doctors etc are amazing people.

You have no reason to apologize, I hope I didn’t make you feel bad. I just wanted you to understand it was an emergency surgery, not anything he could postpone. It’s just a sad situation at a terrible time. Love to you-Toogie
