Home Again!

Well that worked out well.
Tracey and Rhys made their way into Ward 38 for 7:30am and sat in the playroom waiting to find out if a bed was available.
After a while the anesthetist arrived and went over everything with him. They then had to wait for Mr Edwards the surgeon.
At 9 I arrived in the hospital and found them still waiting. Another family were also waiting for a bed.
Tracey nipped out to get some breakfast while Rhys and I sat there.
The play specialist arrived and began tidying the room. As Rhys is interested in becoming a play specialist in the future they chatted about what he's doing and what he needs to do to become one.
Tracey returned and it was my turn to grab some breakfast.
As I was on my way back Tracey texted me to let me know that Mr Edwards had been in and that Rhys' operation was cancelled. There were no beds available due to the hospital being bust and there being a lot of emergency admissions. It would also take a number of hours to perform Rhys' operation so it was better to cancel and reschedule.
The operation has to be performed within 30 days of being cancelled it seems and due to the amount of time needed to complete it is likely to be at least 2 weeks away.
Its frustrating for all of us. Making arrangements for time off work, rearranging appointments, arranging accommodation, traveling to and from Bristol, preparing for serious surgery and then for it not to happen.

But we're back home and just have to wait until the new appointment comes through.
