UPDATE DAYS 10 TO 15

THANK GOD (& NURSING STAFF) FOR SMALL MERCIES
 
Well all your National Insurance contributions have been well spent this year so please no more complaining about them they have been put to good use. There has been a dramatic turn in Alans condition this week, Saturday the 4th of June Dad had opened his eyes and was moving his head from side to side. He seemed to be frustrated and fed up with the environment in which he awoke , but that's understandable it would be fair to say also a little frightened. Then came Sunday, an indifferent day it started of a little shaky with Dad giving us a hard time, he wasn't responding as the day before, but as the day progressed so did he. I think it had something to do with me telling him he only had another 10 days to recover before the fishing season started. He seems to know who we all are and is breathing on his own although he is still very weak. There has been talk of moving him down the ward a bit in 3 or 4 days time, this means that the further away from the nurse's station he goes the more stable he is. At the moment and for all his stay at the hospital he has remained next to the nurse's station.
His throat is very sore and he hasn't spoke but its all good news today.
 

My next update might be a while away as its Thomas' birthday weekend 11th June so we won't see him until the following weekend.


Both Maryanne and I would like this chance to say publicly how well Mum has coped with everything, without her doing what she does it would have been impossible, thanks Mum you are a very special person xx
  
A big thankyou to you all and keep safe   Matt.
