is the day Irish Setters will be judged at this year’s

ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW

SICK LIST:

After  Keith Anderson’s (Eirean Irish Setters) lung transplant a couple of weeks ago, we can report that he is still in ICU at the Alfred Hospital here in Melbourne and now out of induced coma.  The lungs were working well but now a hiccup – he’s got a collapsed lung leaking fluid and air, So they’ve put the chest drain back in and upped the respirator for a while. It’s just delaying getting him out of the ICU, probably by another two weeks.
Still can’t talk due to the trachy; still not able to lift his hands to write.  He’s very frustrated.

Our continued thoughts and prayers are with him and Di who has organised for updates on her Facebook page for all the the kind and concerned friends.

Pat Whitburn (my mother) has recently had breast cancer surgery and is about to embark on a long radiotherapy treatment.  We’d appreciate positive thoughts for her outcome.   Good luck mum.

Get well soon…
