Just What's A Canker Sore

Well Luke had his operation this afternoon. I went and saw him tonight and he's doing really really well! As well as can be expected anyway. The operation went perfectly! Thank God! He's in pain obviously, but he says it's bearable which is awesome. Mentally he's doing really well. He's positive and was bagging me out tonight, so he's still Luke! He can't move yet, but he should be out of bed in 3 or 4 days. Apparently the quicker they get him moving the faster he'll heal, and it prevents further complications. He has lots of tubes and things connected to him at the moment because he can't move. It doesn't look fun.
If you want to visit him I'm sure he'd absolutely love it! Visiting hours are between 2pm - 8pm daily. If you want to know where he is, just email me or call me or sms me or something and I'll let you know.
When I walked in there tonight I had tears well up in my eyes and I had to stop myself from crying. He looked so helpless and so broken. That's my little brother there. I love him and it was hard to see him suffering like that. But once I got talking to him I felt so much better, knowing that he's got such a positive outlook on this whole thing. It's hard to see him like this and know that there is nothing I can do. Well I can be there for him and I know he appreciates that.
Keep praying for him guys. It's a long journey that's only just begun! Here are some photos that I took at the hospital tonight. If you're wondering what that strange green thing he's holding is, it's a spikey, squishy, green, glow in the dark ball thing I bought when I went shopping with Naomi yesterday. Thought it'd be fun. He is always fiddling with stuff, and he loved it!!!
