Can you ask him if he wants to go halfers on a lottery ticket please. Still a long way to go, but at least the journey has started.

Some more positive news OP. Brilliant!

Good stuff! Hang on to all that positivity – here’s hoping for lots more.

Wow!

Early days but sounds mighty positive.

Ahh glad to hear there’s good, positive news, thanks for the update 🙂

Been reading this thread since the start but haven’t posted as couldn’t find the words too. So pleased things are looking positive for you all. Best Wishes.

Such a happy update, I’m really pleased your lad is making progress, the fact he can speak and move about is a massive upgrade since your first post. I hope you can stay optimistic and get the support you need.

All the best

excellent news, fingers crossed he makes a full recovery physically and mentally.

That really has made my day. Great news indeed!

A big step forward! 🙂

I’ve been awol for a few days…what brilliant news.
keep on keeping on ….as they say…

\o/ Fab news.

He was re-intubated and re-sedated yesterday as he wasn’t breathing properly, due to an ongoing lung infection. They might have another go at seeing if he can breathe on his own again today, but it depends on how his lungs are doing. I think it’s just one of those things.

things go up and down, they;ve spotted something not right and they’re taking steps to make it better. the care he’s getting will see him through this.

Sorry to hear about the slight setback but I guess that recovery from a catastrophic event often is two steps forward one step back.

@oldnpastit – lung infection they can deal with, as you say its one of those things and not every step will be a forward one, its about the big picture and making forward progress overall and as you look back over events since you first posted it’s positive.

Sorry for all the cliches !

Fingers are remaining crossed.

But incredibly glad there’s been some good news.

Worth reading about John Pitchers who made a remarkable recovery after brain damage, mainly after starting taking Omega 3/6 supplements.

I think it’s just one of those things.

He’s in the right place, with the right people, giving him the best possible chance.

All the best to you & your family.

Asked with some trepidation, any news?

I’ve not seen him today myself, but apparently he’s going to get a tracheostomy (sp?) after which he’ll be off the intubation and sedation, and able to talk. That’ll be interesting…..

The ENT guy who came to look at him for the trachithingummy had been on holiday for the last two weeks and was quite surprised he was still alive, which I think is good.
