Not moving just yet

Having telephoned ITU before visiting this evening, we were expecting to see Dave on the high dependency ward and set off down the long corridor past the IT Unit. However he had not arrived and was still in ITU.

The nurse had, not long before our arrival, noticed that Dave had a high temperature and another infection is suspected. Samples of his blood, cerebral spinal fluid and sputum have been taken so they can establish where it is. Meanwhile he was being put back on antiobiotics and will remain on the Unit for the time being. Dave (my husband) thinks he may have caught a cold from having his beard shaved off!

Thanks Jilly for your blog (and Maggie's bit). Rog and I are wondering what surprises are in store for us regarding our brother - he's always seemed so quiet! Now we are hearing about possible paternity suits, accidents with bedside tables and bunks. This is getting exciting.

Thanks also for the card and photo from Mandy & John of Escape Adventures and Dave, Elysia and Joseph, the Tanzania trip leaders. Dave had been so looking forward to his trip but it sounds as if Maggie will have plenty of photos for him to see.
