Hey Tony, how's Andrew going? Have been thinking of him the last few days. Hope he's getting better as time goes on.

Andrew has been going really good.
It has been 6 months now that he has been out of hospital and he has made amazing progress over that time.
When he was first released he was reliant on oxygen and wheelchair, he has been off the oxygen for about 5 months and over time he was using the wheelchair less and less.
In the past month he has not used the wheelchair at all and 2 weeks ago he even helped me load up a ute full of firewood, he can stand and walk around without any problem but still has issues walking up any incline.
He has been back at work for a while part time, he started going in to work 1 day a week and doing another day from home on the computer and has gradually increased his work hours and did 4 days at work last week.
He had a lung function test 2 weeks ago and they say he has 30% lung capacity so he will always do it tough but they are saying he should still be able to live a long and functional life which is fantastic.

That's brilliant Tony, so good to hear/read some good news at the moment.

You clearly breed’em tough Tony. Like father like son. You’ve all been through the mill big time & have not only survived, but are going from strength to strength. There is no doubt that every family member will have lost some bark along the way, but those losses can only have served to bring out the strengths of both individuals & the family. More power to your collective elbows.

Ah mate that is brilliant! OK he's got limited lung function but he seems to be managing back to a normal life. Wow. How tough can you get? So happy for him, you and your family mate and I think he's truly inspirational.

Whew! I saw the thread pop up and my heart sank, but it hit sky high as I read your post. Pass on my best to Andrew, mate. To read that he is working is excellent.

That's awesome Tomy. May hie have to put up with 30% lung function for at least another 60 years!
