Son in hospital in a coma

Jugs, theres always jugs in a hospital water and others…

Sounds good oldnpastit!

he’s been deemed well enough to move out of the critical care unit

Wow! Just wow. 😀

Wow + 1

Great news fella… Well chuffed for you and yours…

This thread is a great advertisement for the spirit of not giving up or wallowing. Two things I have been known to do over things about a billionth as important as this subject. I have to be honest, from the first few posts by the OP I didn’t think there was much hope. It is amazing that he has made such progress and equally as amazing has been your level headedness oldnpastit. There is still a long way to go, but you sound like a truly remarkable family. All the best. Keep STW posted if you want/need, don’t if you don’t want to.

Great to hear ONPI, still watching for updates (as I’m sure tenfold the post count are)

Great news, first time I’ve posted on this thread, but I’ve been reading it from the start….just didn’t have anything to say really before. Actually, I still don’t really.

I’ve found some of your posts on this thread very humbling oldnpastit….all the best.

Janitors, hospitals are the last bastions of janitors. Some are even superheroes.

Great news, a lovely way to end the weekend.

Great news! Hope everything keeps moving in the right direction.

Fantastic news for you all.

I was annoyed at being in work on a Sunday night, but this has cheered me up no end

And good shout A_A…

Glad to hear he’s doing so well though, it’s really good news!

Great news mate. Just back from a hospital visit myself (Dad has a serious urinary infection) and know how hard and tiring it is, but to deal with what you are must be tough.

Best wishes and look forward to more good news over the coming days/weeks.

Remember to get out on your bike. You will need that space!

Great news to hear he’s out of ICU. Hope things continue in s positive fashion.

I have to say that’s great news, play nicely with him won’t you 😆

Really pleased for you. I’ve been reading this, and always hope that your posts are positive. loads and loads of luv to you and your son.

Superb news, as someone else commented the first few posted sounded bleak, playing I spy sounds a miracle IMO.

J…..Jaundice?

More good news OP.

Glad to hear more good news ,hopefully on the way to being a bloody annoying teenager ,then you will know he is well on the road to recovery .Keep the news coming !!

J – jelly. Don’t they always feed you jelly in hospital?

Such good news. Long may it continue.

@oldnpastit how’s yourself and your boy doing?

Quick update, he’s now in a specialist rehap unit (still at Addenbrookes). He still has his tracheostomy in place as he can’t swallow/cough properly, but can and has been talking via a special tube.

He’s a lot more alert now, but still quite confused: he had to be reminded that he was in hospital (and at one point thought he was in Wales), and he has no recollection of our new cute-but-at-times-annoying puppy, but he can write things on a small whiteboard (shocking handwriting) and can tap a few things out on a phone. He’s a surprisingly different person now – he actually seems glad to see his parents now, which is a real pleasure.

Glad all the news we , but more importantly you , are getting is nothing but positive.

Sounds very promising, keeping those baby steps going in the right direction. Look after yourself too, you don’t want to be worn down to the bone by the time he comes out. Hugs.

Excellent news.

Nice to see things going the right way

Thanks for the update, really pleased to hear things are slowly improving…

Every day,

Great to hear even more positive updates 😀 Here’s hoping that things continue in the right direction for you all.

Glad to hear that he’s continuing to improve! 🙂

That’s really good news, glad things are moving in the right direction for him and you all.

Sounds positive OP.
