Shall I wake up

Slight improvement today - Dave has come off sedation and is breathing on his own, although he is still connected to the ventilator. He is beginning to wake up and has made some movements with his right arm and leg. He has a chest infection which is being treated with antibiotics. The nurse says he has opened his eyes when she has shouted at him!

He keeps yawning and his nurse for today, Vicky, can't believe that after 5 days of sedation he is still tired!!

We're hoping that when we visit tomorrow, he will be a little more awake and responsive.

We understand that a few friends have tried telephoning, but at the moment the nurses are unable to give anyone other than close family, any information about David's condition. So its best to WATCH THIS SPACE or telephone Roger or myself. As soon as he is able to receive visitors we will let you know. Hope everyone understands.

This is great news! :) Wonderful to be able to track Uncle David's progress without constantly phoning. Please pass on our love like I'm sure you are.
