Surgery on holiday

This is Claudia writing. Thought it might help to do blog entry to keep people informed about the latest events.
We have just been on holiday to Mallorca. The first week was really great.
Sadly though, Pete became ill in the second week with abdominal pain and vomiting. The long and short of it is, that he required emergency surgery on Tuesday evening in a mallorquine hospital for small bowel obstruction. The surgeon told us that they had found the bowel twisted but also strangulated by some tight scar tissue, which stems from the previous surgery he underwent last year. Thankfully the bowel hadn't suffered any lasting damage and with the scar tissue cut through, it seemed everything would heal well.
I returned to the UK with the boys 2 days ago, as planned, but since Pete was still quite weak, we decided he should convalesce on the island. Rosemary, a "step aunt" living in Palma had offered to look after him, which we were extremely grateful for, although, of course, so disappointed and unsure as to why all this had to happen.
Pete was discharged on Saturday, just as we were flying back out to Bath. He had a couple of days at Rosemarys house but started to feel unwell again last night with more pain and vomiting.
He was readmitted to Inca Hospital in the early hours this morning and is now under observation on iv fluids, being kept nil by mouth.
He has just texted me to say that the vomiting has stopped but that the pain is unchanged.
Would appreciate your prayers for him at this time! We would so love to have him back home. Also I am unsure as to whether I need to fly back out to him. Many "unknowns" at the moment... Thanks for your support !
