Quick update from Tooting Broadway

Thomas was admitted to St Georges Hospital, Tooting on Sunday afternoon from St Peters. His head had grown 5.6cm in 16 days and it was concluded that he had fluid on the brain. This is probably as a result of clotting from his brain bleed blocking the ventricles.

On Tuesday morning he was taken into the neuro-theatre and had a shunt fitted. This allows the fluid on the brain to drain through tubing and a value into his abdominal cavity where it is absorbed by the body.

The operation went well and Thomas was in Intensive Care by around 10.30am and back on Ocean Ward by 1.30pm. He is still very drowsy but doing well.

Thanks for all the messages of goodwill from you all, they really help.

Will keep you updated as we can.
