I wonder if I might ask for a handhold please my lovely grandson was born with a very serious heart condition and although he has grown up very well a huge overwhelming infection has overtaken him stemming from a heart valve and today he has had to have an eye removed due to this infection. He is the light of our life and more poor son is understandably totally distraught and I am so afraid we will lose him please could you pray for him the next few days will show how things are going to be thank you so much

I hope very much that the surgery goes well and that his recovery is speedy. Take heart - children are very resilient - and he will be showing off his special eye before you know it. What a time for you and your family to go through. Stay strong.

By the way, I am mind-blown that they can make it so his eyes move together - that is truly remarkable. Thank goodness for modern medicine and surgery.

Well here we are at the end of a very long day. He is out of theatre and everything seems to have gone well and they did all they wanted. We are so very lucky to still have him and I cannot thank you enough for all your kind thoughts Hopefully we should have him home this time next month and I am off to bed as totally shattered.

Canarygirl, such good news, and to have the happy thoughts that he may well be home in a month's time. Tiny children are so resilient, and just get on with whatever life throws at them. Continuing prayers for all the family.
