Ben's Surgery Postponed

Really frustrating news - It was the day of Ben's admission to RNOH for his major surgery.
We were only at the Hospital for 3 hours when we were informed by the Anesthetist that is was being postponed due to Ben not being well enough for them to proceed.
We should be back in around 3 weeks time if he's better.
