A quick update on my son.
He went into hospital this morning and has had surgery this afternoon, to establish the cause of the fistula and the swelling in his mouth and cheek.
He is out of theatre, obviously quite sore, but when he messaged his wife he was sitting up drinking a cool cup of tea.
He will get the results, including what has been done, when he sees his consultant in a couple of weeks.
Thank you everyone of all your support and encouragement over the last several months. It means a lot to know I can come on here and speak about my fears for my son.
Hugs your loved ones tight and tell them you love them.

Great. Hope he’s sorted. Pity his surgeon’s registrar couldn’t tell him what they had done. I’d be looking at my notes but then I’m nosey

Thanks Hazel, he's coming home today. He's a bit tired and sore, but I'm sure he'll feel better at home
Now to wait for his appointment with the consultant to find out what has been done.
Thanks Dani. Ha ha, I think I would be the same. He's coming home today, a bit sore and tired of course.
Has to wait for his appointment with the consultant to find out what's been done.
He looks a bit like he's been in a knife attack, but I'm sure that will fade in time.
Thanks Peter, he's coming home later today. Just has to wait now to speak to his consultant to find out what's been done.
Hi Janet
Glad to hear your son's home now. Hope he's recovering well.
