Successfully through the operation
The operation went very well and Quentin is now back in his room, smiling through his oxygen mask.
He wants you all to know the kidney was 1.4kg. I'm not sure how much it would usually be, to be honest, but we can safely say significantly smaller given the tumour was approx 11cm. (I did try to look it up online but got lost in the organic butcher sites).
He is having a blood tranfusion and hitting his morphine button regularly but that's only to be expected. He croaked that he was feeling "top notch". I heard this from the floor because I have to admit that all the drips etc. made me feel rather faint. Heaven help me if I have to look at the wound.
Tomorrow morning I will see Father Christmas to understand a bit more, but it seems the positive vibes etc have worked. Thank you very much. Now, back to work the lot of you!

Excellent news, hope he recovers soon.
Good luck
Eamonn and Gillian
you're both doing great - keep it up!
Great news that the op went well and I hope all continues positively. One the one kidney note, I am about the only female on my side of the family to have two kidneys and having only one has certainly not subdued my sister's alcohol capacity! Apparently if there is only one it just meets the challenge! Thinking of you all and hope the recovery is good and Quent doesn't have to put up with hospital food for too many days. Lots of love, Rachel (and Richard, Finn and Jake)
First hurdle out of the way - all the best for a quick recovery.
Shame he couldn't keep the kidney - it would have looked great above the fireplace, and it's conveniently pre-pickled.

2nd attempt at doing this Blog business. Faffed around for so long that I timed out first time. So, glad to read that you're back on the ward Quent. If we'd not known the weight of the kidney we could have had a 'guess the weight' competition.
Thinking of you all.

OK so last night's message was a bit confused but not 'arf as confused as we were when we woke up this morning and realised today wasn't FRIDAY!!!
Postive vibes (and one or two prayers) sent your way all day. Keep up the postive work both of you - you're doing grand.
Lots of love. Michele & Bob
Great news Quent and Helen, and well done Father Christmas! First stage over for a speedy, full recovery. Thinking of you lots.
Love Sheena xx
Just heard... but great news about the op. Positive vibes now comming in from Devon, were a bit slow here you see.
Thinking about you all
Andrew and Jill
ps took your advice when we last met and Jill's expecting in Jan. Cant remember my advice to you but it must have been crap.
Glad to hear that the op went well today.
Our sincerest best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
David & June.
ps. Saw Jill & Andy this weekend - thought she'd been eating alot of pies!!!!!
