We were expecting to go into theatre around 11am as Jessica was second on the list but as is often the case, we were waiting longer than anticipated and it was around 1pm before we were told that we were about to go into theatre. However, the surgical team then had an emergency case which meant that today’s surgery for Jessica had to be cancelled and the team would try to reschedule it at a later date. Jessica had been nil by mouth for ten hours by this point so was very happy to be able to have a feed again!
At the moment we anticipate that Jessica’s surgery will be taking place tomorrow afternoon although if there are delays, then the plan is that we will go home and come back in again on Easter Monday ready for surgery on Tuesday. In the meantime, Jessica is fine although her oxygen saturations are again a little lower than they have been at home. She had a visit from Katy yesterday and the Royal Navy motorbike club visited the ward this afternoon to deliver Easter eggs and cuddly toys for the children.
We will update again tomorrow – please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we prepare once again for surgery.
You haven't left our thoughts today, and we'll be thinking of you all tomorrow.

Late Thursday night... midnight watch... hope all is calm for you.Jessica looks as if she takes another trip to Ocean ward in her stride... I guess it's her second home at the moment. You are all held in so much love.
