I have had no communication from Gordon's wife since last Thursday. I am not particularly drawing any conclusions from this as she has said she will only let people know if there had been a significant change. It is difficult to even start to imagine what they are all going through. I have already passed on our good wishes but am leaving it to her to make contact as and when she feels it is appropriate. Gordon knows that he is in people's thoughts here. 2 15 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post BoD Posted May 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2021 Update: Gordon’s family has been in touch again. Things are still very up and down, with Gordon having to undergo more procedures to help fight infections and to make ‘running repairs’ to the procedures already undertaken. This culminated in emergency surgery yesterday where they were able to do what was necessary but the next 12 – 24 hours are critical. Gordon and his surgeons are fighting but he still has a long and hard journey ahead of him. 2 11 1 56 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let Gordon's wife know the RM community around the globe is thinking of him. Many thanks Scott 1 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post BoD Posted May 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Update from Gordon’s family. He continues to fight but is very, very weak and confused - he has been in ICU for five weeks now. Positives - he is stable, some of his ‘numbers’ are not normal but are not deteriorating. Gordon’s system has started absorbing some (liquid) food. Negatives - Gordon is now having dialysis as his kidneys have not yet recovered from the operation. Doctors are hoping that this will kickstart some improvement clinically as this has been very much static. I’m sure our thoughts continue to be with him and his family.

RMweb Gold Popular Post BoD Posted May 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) A further update from Gordon’s family. Gordon is still in ICU. He has had two recent CT scans. Both showed that there has been no improvement in the healing of the tube connecting his remaining liver to his bowel. Thankfully it is no worse. Therefore, he still has all the drains in. He has problems with low blood pressure and this is hampering his physio. He is still being fed his nutrition through his PIC line and through the tube which is in his nose. Edited May 28, 2021 by BoD 1 1 36 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted May 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi Gordon, there's an unfinished crossing the PW guys have left and a train is waiting for the possession to end - so they send their best wishes and would you send them some coal please? It's N2 on the down slow. Take care and heal well. Best wishes from Fraggle Rock, where your track gauges would be wrong! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted May 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi Gordon, been thinking of you of late as a good friend of mine has just been given a similar diagnosis to you. I was telling him how well you have been doing. So keep on fighting and I look forward to having some progress reports when you can get back to working on the layout. Cheers, Ade. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted May 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2021 Gordon, as my last donation of O neg went to Stoke you were unlikely to have had any of it so there's no reason to not get better. Your recovery is much like Eastwood Town, some diversions and re-working but above all a story of constant progress. I'm looking forward to reading the sentence "I fired up Templot" All the best.
