A few weeks ago my dad collapsed at work and was rushed to hospital with pancreatitis. The last time this happened was four years ago and he was lucky to survive. I heard the recent news while I was in bangkok and at the time I was considering heading back to perth, however I heard he was recovering well so I decided to keep the journey going.
Unfortunately in the last few days he has been sent back to hospital with a possible pancreas infection and is currently not in a good condition, in a week or so he may be admitted in for serious surgery.
I’ll be putting the project on hold once I get to Hanoi where I can fly back to perth, ill freeze the funds from that point and continue in a few weeks from now if all goes well.
My dad is a subscriber to this blog so if he has the energy he will be able to read this post from the hospital, if people could wish him well in comments it would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks
