Thumbs up!



When asked how he was, Laurie was able to give the thumbs up although he was too groggy to say so. He will stay in the ICU until tomorrow, then after an MRI will go back into the ward if everything continues in the positive direction it has so far.


For those who want to see the business end of the operation, below is as far as we'll go for the moment.




... for those who want to see the machine that goes "ping" here it is:

  3. With tears in my eyes, I'm reading the blog,
    still in shock and disbelief.....

    (Gary) when you see Laurie again, please wish him all the best from me. And when he is up to it, please give give him a big hug and a kiss. Now I know you can do the hug and know you won't let me know about the kiss.

    say hello to everyone for me.... and let them know I'm enjoying down town Dili.

    Cheers
    Julie

  4. Laurie,

    You truly are an inspiration to me and have put what counts into perspective. I am thinking of you and know with all the mountains you have climbed to date, you can this.

    cheers,
