Dove, your son and all the family are in my thoughts. I’m sure I’m not the only forum ‘lurker’ that thinks about you every day since the awful news. Although I rarely post, I do look at this forum daily, and have been so pleased to see little snippets of news on his long road to recovery, which I imagine will be very up and down. Very best wishes from the other side of the country
You’re all very kind… today’s update is that he’ll be moving into the Rehabilitation & Therapy Ward any day now … he is working so hard at getting well … I’m so proud of him. 😊

you're right to be proud of him. Will he be allowed more visitors?
Yes … we’ve been told not to over-face him at the moment … he has told them he still wants me to be his main visitor … then a few others for short visits to start with. 😊

They are … we just have to take it gently depending on what he feels he can cope with. Some folk can be a little exhausting, even tho they mean well. He’s the important one at the moment 😊

There are fine lines between being supportive, asking too many questions, and sitting in silence for half an hour then upping and leaving.
News this morning so far is that Rob has been moved into the Rehabilitation Ward 🎉 Staff nurse said that his determination has been remarkable … all the staff are astounded by his progress. I’ve thanked her and the team of course, but she said ‘this really has been down to him’. So proud of my son. 😎
Onwards and upwards … 💙

Rob is home and tucked up in a double bed in the living room, snug under a duvet and the Welsh blanket he knew as a child. He wasn’t happy in his room in the rehab ward … lonely and sad and not eating … everyone agreed that tlc and home cooking is what’s needed now. Meds have been administered and eye drops applied. It’s not going to be straightforward … he’s a big chap and very weak … but we have a zimmer and he’s very determined. I take him back for outpatients on Thursday. ❤️

There maybe a few backward steps to come, but he's away
The staff are just incredible, l take my metaphorical hat off to them.
