This is great news my boys are following your journey
and send their wishes to you as well, who said that
prayer and good wishes never works. All I see is good
Hi Tony after going to hospital and seeing the great work nurses do,
I thought about your son, I was thinking it is progressing slowly and all is good
As always nothing but good thoughts going your way
Hey tony.
Not sure why I haven't still got your number.. I was also wondering how your son and the family are traveling..
Are things still on the up?
Andrew is still recovering but has a big battle ahead.
They have been putting a special adapter in line with his ventilator to allow him to talk which has made things much easier. They took his feeding tube out a few days ago and he is now eating or drinking high energy food to sustain himself and hopefully put on a bit of weight as he has lost so much. His has lost most of his muscle mass so everything is very difficult to do, he has been working with the physio's to try and improve his strength but it is a really slow process and is getting him down. To make things worse he is having withdrawal from being taken off the drugs causing him to be depressed, emotional, tired and affecting his sleep. He is also very scared about how long his recovery will take and what fitness he will end up having, he may always require oxygen to survive. I am sure he will be a lot better after he is over his drug withdrawal.
I am still really happy that he has survived after being told he would die but it has been a really long and draining couple of months. I spend about 4hrs in the hospital every day and this is very hard as he is so unhappy and that stresses me, I do everything I can to cheer him up. We have a roster for visiting him as he wants someone with him for all visiting hours.
The doctors are now talking about sending him to Adelaide as soon as he can get off the ventilator and can walk, he would probably have to spend some time in an Adelaide hospital but that would be much better as he would get different visitors, would be better for us too as the accommodation costs up here are killing us.
I remain positive that he will come out of this and live a long and fulfilling life, and most importantly be there for his partner and kids.
Holy Shit!!! Andrew is so so lucky to have LIFE. These next challenges are small steps in his journey back from the grave mate! Just Awesome! Seriously! Awesome!
We only told him a few days ago how close he came and he said how happy he was to be alive and will do anything to keep it that way.Quote:
