Day 9

Gavin didn't sleep very well last night. He just couldn't get comfortable with his leg again. We raised it up but the only thing that seemed to help was by rubbing it.

Jayne stayed in the Ronald Mc Donald room and I stayed with Gavin. 

After nearly 8 hours of rubbing I was mentally and physically shattered but Gavin then managed to go asleep about 8am This morning.

This afternoon he has been so much better and his leg is good too which is great to see.

He is booked in for the first slot for surgery tomorrow morning at 9.30am.

The doctors and surgeons spoke with us this afternoon. The plan apart from removing the plate and wires is to take some good fatty tissue that is around Gavin's bladder and use this to pack the hole where the tumour was removed. They explained that by putting good live tissue next to radiated tissue will increase the oxygen flow and hopefully aid recovery of the damaged tissue..amazing really.

Gavin has eaten a bit more today also which is great to see.

Please keep Gavin in your thought and prayers tomorrow morning that all will be good..
