Weekend visit to Dave

Hi Everyone,
At last I`ve managed to get round to adding to the blog.Margaret and I visited Dave yesterday and again today. I wish I could report better news but he is still critical. At the moment they are doing what they call Medical Management which is trying to take him off the sedation, unfortunately every time they try, his pressures increase,consequently they have to sedate again, hopefully for the injury to heal.This may continue for a couple more days following which they will reassess the situation and decide whether more surgical intervention is required.
I have managed to make contact with Ray Archer in Derbyshire.He used to ride tandem with Dave back in the seventies.So word is spreading far and wide.I`m hoping to be in touch with a Jeff Bowler (Mercian Cycles)following my chat with Ray,I`ll keep you in touch with that.
Returning to the hospital, I must mention the staff, who are doing their utmost for Dave and us. It is truly remarkable what they can do and he is in the best place to receive the the care he needs.
