LIAM'S JOURNEY

In May of 2006 we lost Matt, Liam's Dad after a courageous battle with a brain tumour, he was 34 years old. In April of 2008 we got the devastating news that 7 year old Liam had an extremely rare form of cancer in his sinus cavity. This blog is where we can update you on Liam's progess with his brave battle. "If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them."

Day 57 – Day surgery

Filed under: 1 — Rebecca at 5:09 pm on Wednesday, June 18, 2008

We arose obscenely early this morning to be at the hospital at 7.15.  Liam had a late night as he was a bit anxious, and has certainly had enough of the surgeries. 

He was in theatre by 8.30 and after the bit he likes the least – the gas – he was out into recovery by 9.30.  He was pretty sore but was transferred back to the childrens ward shortly after.  Once they got him some more pain relief he settled down to wait for lunch.  The surgery went well and he is now sporting a few more stitches holding his eyelid up but no more swelling, and we were allowed to leave about 2.30.  We are back to the hospital on Friday for them to check it all out.

Must admit we are very tired and would like this journey to end soon!

Becs, Liam and Ashleigh
