Cheeky monkey!

Charlie's been quite chirpy this afternoon and we've had quite a few
flashes of his normal cheeky self.
It's such a shame, because he'll be knocked sideways again by
tomorrow's surgery.
Apparently he won't be going to theatre until after 3pm, so he can't
eat anything after 9am.
I can't remember if I said in the last post, but if the surgeon is
able to do the more minor surgery it should only take about 40
minutes. Even if Charlie has to have his sternum reopened (all
prayers, positive thoughts and good vibes that this won't be necessary
would be gratefully appreciated...) it should still take under two
hours, and all being well, he should be extubated (off the ventilator)
and starting to wake up before he goes back to ICU.
I'll keep you posted.
