LAUREN STOCKS...............A BIG BIG THANK YOU!

edited January 2010 in The Shed
I would like to say, on behalf of myself, my wife (stoxy), Stuart and of course Lauren a really big thanks to each and every one of you for posting those fantastic messages of support over the last few days whilst we have been in Bristol Childrens Hospital for Lauren's operation. Can i just pay a personal thanks to the legend TK for the text and the calls to Emma, telling her of the thread and the amazing amount of interest that you people showed towards my little girls condition. I feel humbled writing this, as the sight of all those messages brought a tear to my eyes.

Lauren has read each and every message and she asked me to type her a reply to you all. " Thankyou everybody for your lovely messages, they really cheered me up when i got home and mummy showed me them on the computer. I hope you all have a happy new year. I didn't know that my mummy and daddy had so many friends and that TK had told you all about me. it made me smile and cry reading them all, thankyou very much" Love from Lauren Stocks 

Once again, thanks from all the Stocks family, may your bad beats be few(unless you're playing me)

    Ok, so i've just been catching up on other forum stuff and have seen the instruction from TK in poker chat. Totally mind blowing thanks. As he mentioned the op was a success eventually. The surgeon told us that within the heart there is something called the "sinus node". This detects adrenalin in your body and pumps blood into your heart faster, ie. your beat increases if you get excited. This node also informs what is called the "av node" what it is up to. The purpose of the av node is to pump blood out of the heart as fast as the sinus node pumps it in, therefore keeping a constant flow(getting technical now ain't it). The problem with Lolly appears to be the two nodes were not communicating properly so she had blood going in faster than it was coming out, scary!!
    The pacemaker that has been installed has two wires,each one leading to the area of the heart where these nodes are located. As Tk mentioned the tissue around the av node was weak and therefore could not hold the wire. Fortunately on the 6th attempt it stayed and the procedure was then finished. Hopefully this will turn out to be the root cause of Lolly's problems and she can, when she's feeling stronger resume a normal life. It's fantastic to think about what they can do with technology today.
    I would like to say that although we are very grateful for all that people have done for us, i feel in the great scheme of things we are actually very lucky. Whilst in the hospital there was a baby in the bed next to Lolly who'd had a heart op at only 2 days old. Now that's stress for a new parent. Luckily she came through it and is well on the way to recovery.
    I know i keep repeating myself but thanks to you all for your messages of support, Lauren is made up
