Operation went well!

Peter’s went into surgery at noon today and Dr Vosloo has just called to give us an update on how the operation went. She said that the operation went well and Peter has now been moved to ICU for his post-op recuperation. She said that the aortic valve was extremely calcified and was amazed that he had not had further complications. Peter had a slight complication when he was put under the anaesthetic, as he had a few mild convulsions, which as she explained is quite unusual, as they administer an anti-convulsant drug together with the anaesthetic. She has asked a neurosurgeon (Dr Frost) to see Peter to get an additional opinion on what may have caused this.
