First of all it has to be said that you have all been amazing, the support we have received, the kind words on the blog mean so much to the family. When you think you can't get any lower someone does something that's above and beyond or they write something on here that makes us find new strengh.
To try to be true to Dads blog I will do my best to write in his own hand.
I'm sure you have all done things that at the time seemed a good idea, but then after its to late and your not to sure. Well that's what i was thinking when dad and mum sold their house 3 yrs ago and moved on to Buggerlugs, but then I went to see them on their boat, they were like kids in a sweet shop, or in dads case a pig in shit. So it seems they were right after all. The other big decision they had to make is where on thousands of miles of canal they would live.... after careful consideration they choose Fetlers Wharf in Rufford which in my opinion has been absolutely one of the best decisions they have made in building this new life that they enjoy so much, Thankyou Fetlers.
NEWS
Busy bank holiday but not in the typical sense of a bank holiday visit to Buggerlugs. This time it was the serious kind ( no fishing ). Time to take over from my sister Maryanne who has been doing a fantastic job of making mum crazy and sane all at the same time! Both Lorraine and I set of to Birmingham in separate cars so mum could have her own car. Now that Les and Linda had brought Buggerlugs upto Lyons boat yard just a 15 min drive from the hospital, thankyou Les and Linda x
The new temporary mooring has come with a few teething problems brought about by mum well basically being mum. As most of you know she's great in the galley and great at doing the locks but it is quite clear that's where it stops. For those of you who have a boat will know that there's a whole lot more to do as I found out, however after lots of call to Danny and Alan at Fetlers we have her nicely settled in.... thankyou.
THE BITS YOU ALL WANT TO KNOW
Hows Alan getting on? Well today is day 12 and we seem to have turned the corner, dad has been taken of some drugs that were keeping him paralysed. Its early days but he has responded well by blinking and nodding his head. He seems to be responding to some commands from the nursing staff ( big thankyou ). Its still early days, tiny steps. Everyone is aware that dad is in no way out of the woods and we mustn't get ahead of ourselves, however for now its all good news.
many thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the update Matt. You are all in my thoughts. Just remember that life is like the Harecastle tunnel, dark and confusing, but as with the tunnel all of a sudden there is bright light again and the clarity to see your way forward. I hope Al ses that light again soon.
Best wishes, Kevin
