Simon Applegate

[tobagotwo]

Many of you may remember Simon from his days within our site as Bonzo Dog. He has recently undergone an arduous surgery, and his wife forwarded this to Mary. I've been entrusted to bring this to you, a duty I take on with great seriousness, as Simon is a very good person:

My husband Simon asked you to let you know how his operation went. His operation was 8 days ago and was long and difficult, he is still very sick in intensive care following it. As you will be aware it was expected to be a difficult and complex surgery, in the end he needed the aortic valve and root replacing, the aortic arch replacing and repairs to mitral and tricuspid valves. He was in theatre for 17 hours as had difficulty getting him off the bypass. Arrived in ICU looking grey and unwell and has been unconcious since. He has made slow progress in the right direction, drugs have been reduced, off renal dialysis and breathing on his own. We remain concerned about his overall unstable condition and when he may regain conciousness and of course worried about brain damage
I will let you know how things progress, hopefully with a good report soon

Love Linda

Please offer your thoughts and prayers for Simon.

Thank you,

He certainly has mine. One loss this week is enough.

Bonzo and his family are in my prayers. I was glad to see there is some progress in the right direction.

Bonzo, been thinking about you for a few days now. Glad to see things are at least moving in the right direction, if not very speedily. Linda, hang in there, we're all with you.

Mary, tobagotwo, thanks for the update

Bonzo is quite the character who I miss seeing online. I have all the confidence in the world that he will get through this. Prayers going out to him and his family.
