Re: get well soon Dave : Sat Nov 27, 2010 1:33 pm
The latest news on David is the most positive (with caution) for some time.Yesterdays operation was to repair the areas that had to be opened up for the original surgery to remove the blood clots.
This has now been done, the surgeon deciding on another option to a titanium plate being inserted but it went well.
A major leap forward is he is now engaging in intelligent two way conversation he knows who he is speaking to and what about and he knows where he is but he has no idea of how he got there and that subject has not been mentioned at the moment.
His voice is very quite as some time has passed sinced he last used his vocals chords but never has a whisper meant so much to us all as you can imagine.
Other areas of concern are there is one arm and one leg still affected where full use, feeling and movement are yet to be achieved.
Physio is being performed as per the medical staffs judgment and recomendation.
They have started to have him stand up with support which he did do but only for a very short time.
We will have to wait and see what response and progress can be made but every one remains optomistic and positive.
Tuesday of next week will be when i visit him again so i will post again shortly after.
In the meantime if anything significant happens i will let you know as i am in regular contact with his mum and dad.
I know you all will be delighted to hear some cautious positives and thanks again for your support, very much appreciated.
