Slight improvement

Roger and I visited together today. Dave has been taken off the sedation today, his pressures are more stable and he was moving his right arm and leg a bit. He is however still fully ventilated at the moment.

When I read out your message Roger (Nash), and Roger (brother) told him who had been in contact with him since yesterday, Dave's eyes moved as if in recognition, at least that is what we thought! He even lifted his right arm as if to wave us goodbye when we left. Probably a coincidence but that's how it felt.

I'll pass your good wishes on tomorrow morning when we go in Fran and special thanks to Faith and Vic for the lovely card we received today. We've promised Dave that as soon as he opens his eyes he will be able to see the card you have sent him with the picture of Brixham.

Thank you to everyone for their support, Dave is lucky to have so many good friends. We know Dave has a long way to go yet but Roger and I feel much more positive than we did yesterday.

Your colleagues at Westlands first heared of the accident when the traffic police called and told us you had had an accident & you were in Frenchay hospital. A freak accident caused by hitting an animal we believe. We all send our best wishes and wish you a speedy and full recovery. No need to hurry back! We will keep up to date via this blog, a copy of the latest bulletin is displayed outside the Lab. Best wishes from Peter & Sylvia.
