Pleased to hear things have picked up again after what seemed like a bit of a dip. Keep your spirit strong!
He's a lot better today!
Smart.
Some lovely posts on here from folk from STW and from some unexpected places
Good to see the direction of travel is positive and look at how far your son has come since yoor first post
The road to recovery is a long and slow road but , thankfully, you are all travelling it.
Pleased for you all and everyone likes a story with a happy ending.
Glad to hear the positive news there 🙂
Yes no yes so that's all good then. Very strong. 😉
Well, I had a pretty amazing time with him today!
He's now in a specialist brain injury place in Northampton. He doesn't really like the regime much, and it's quite a hard place for a teenager to be, but he's cheerful, easy to talk to, and just generally myself and my sister had a fun couple of hours with him.
The best bit was showing him the new car. Last week I bought a 13 year old Mazda MX-5 from munrobiker of this parish (looks great, but is slightly falling to pieces :-). He now wants me to leave it to him in his will, and was really happier than I've seen him possibly in years. He was waaaay more positive about the car than his younger siblings, who dismissed it on the basis that the one on Need-for-speed isn't as fast as the Nitrous-equipped RX8.
Good visit.
Its been some journey you have been on and its all so much better than when you first started posting on this thread
Pleased for you and your family and its lovely to keep getting updates and ones that are positive to boot
All the best.
Great stuff. Slightly jealous of the mx5 too!
🙂 😀
Great times
Sounds like he's (s)miles better 😀
Thanks for the update, more good news not least that your son is thinking about the future, ie being around for it.
Great News!
Good news 😆
great to hear mate, ive been following this with interest and hope, im pleased its all coming good.
What a great thing to read in the morning.
In case you don't already know, Jalopnik.com is in love with the MX5 and this may be a good place to read about them for you and him too.
Wow! Flipping brrrilliant. 😀Well, I had a pretty amazing time with him today!
Awesome news 🙂
Well, he's still improving, memory still not brilliant but better every day. He's *very* bored, and would dearly like to get out before the summer is over.
A ligament went in his knee the other day, so he's gone from being unable to walk at all, to walking falteringly, and now back to almost unable to walk, but for different reasons.
And I finally managed to make good on my promise to bring over a curry yesterday, which he very much appreciated (but wanted something a bit stronger next time).
Glad things are still improving,can you get him out and about at all with the knee problem?

Sounds positive.
Perhaps a phall may be a miracle cure - well it should get him [i]moving[/i] at least 😉
Giving a phall to a lad who's got a bad knee preventing him walking may be not be a wise move...
Any more news OnP?
Time for an update.
He's coming home on day release this weekend(*) !
He's much improved, still has a few memory problems but you would never guess. The really encouraging bit is that he has a very different attitude to life now. I don't want to go into too much detail, but I think it's fair to say he's a changed person, for the better.
(*) I'm fetching him in the falling-apart MX5, so it's just possible he'll actually spend the day by the side of the A14 watching lorries roar past...
Superb . Thats so good to hear . Such a change around from a few months ago . Try not to smother him and expect some set backs . Hope it works out ok for you all.

Quality with dad, 🙂
I approve of this update 🙂
Great news - hope all goes well.
Excellent. Cheers for the update, glad to hear it.
Great news, and much respect to you as you have displayed such strength and positivity throughout.
Hope your son continues his recovery and there are happier times for all ahead.
That's a result, nice to end the working week with good news.
😀
Bloody brilliant, absolutely bloody brilliant 😀
I ain't commented for a while, doesn't mean I ain't been thinking about this.
I hope you all get to relax and have fun, enjoy your time together.
All the best.
Me.
Good news! I was wondering about you the other day. "Like".
Thanks for the update and I'm glad it's so positive 🙂
Great news for a Friday
superb news mate, i like! 🙂
Great to hear some GOOD news, enjoy!
Awww, brilliant!!! 😀
Fantastic stuff. Don't forget a big branch to do a Fawlty if the MX5 misbehaves.
What a lovely way to kick off the weekend. So pleased to hear your good news
Nice one.

Encourage spannering, just in case that he's like me and it keeps him sane!
