Hubby is now off sedation and starting to wake. He opened his eyes when he heard my voice and focused on me. I held his hand and he squeezed it without being asked. Every time I told him I loved him, he squeezed my hand again, and I said yes I know you love me.He was coughing a bit with the infection and his BP shot up, but they've now put him on intravenous BP meds. Obviously he's not fully awake yet, and he can't speak because of the tracheotomy, but he's on his way back to us. Hoping it will be a small improvement daily.
Thanking you all for your comments, support and prayers. Will still update as we go xx ❤️
The best Valentines present your Husband will ever give you I have tears in my eyes as I reply this is the post we have all been waiting for and I know you must be elated and I think I can speak for so many on here that we are to this is just the best news ever !!!!
He sounds like he is on his way back now and what we all wanted to hear and the love you have just shines out from your posts and the reaction your Husband had towards you today when you visited him shows even ill what love he has for you to what a perfect day to have had that moment under these circumstances
Have a little celebration tonight something nice ( not sandwiches and soup though )
Thank you so much for this update
I will still keep praying for many more to come which I will look forward to x
I think there would be every good reason to start doing it now as what has happened today is something you can both look back on Valentine's Day was the day he started to come back to you x
This really is such a lovely post! The wait for him to come back to you will be so worth it and you will appreciate each other even more than you already do.
Keep going strong.

What wonderful news especially on Valentine's Day xx❤️❤️
A real red letter Valentine's day! Outstanding news! I'm sure that you and your family will be feeling much better, and I know that all your followers here, are cheering you and your hubby on, as you approach that bright light at the end of this dark tunnel. 🙂
That is fantastic news! I am so pleased for you and your family. Been thinking about you every day and sending you my best wishes. Tell your hubby to stay strong and that it will take more than this to beat him!
I've got a smile on my face and tears in my eyes reading this and the lovely replies. I'm so happy to hear this and thank you for posting and letting us all know. Happy Valentines Day to you both 🌹🌹🤗xx
I’m so pleased for you. I know everyone in the group has been waiting to hear some good news for you. I hope now things keep moving forward, even if at a slow and steady pace. I had to smile when I read your reply to BeKind about Valentines Day. I always say we don’t do Valentines but do our Anniversary.
It's not always a textbook recovery!! So pleased to hear this and am really hoping this is now the turning point. Sounds like the meds are getting the infection under control more and he's on his way back. Fantastic xx
Fantastic news what we have all been praying for and waiting to hear. Hope he continues to make improvements daily and you have a wonderful anniversary on the 27th. Take care of yourself in this very traumatic time ❤️🤗😊
Aaah this is good news thank you for sharing this is what we have been waiting for, the squeeze of the hand ( made me fill up ) I think most of us can relate to what you are saying the feeling you get when you turn a corner.
Wow, such fabulous news. My sister in law went through exactly the same and was kept in an induced coma for a month. I think the tracheostomy was one of the scariest parts. This was over seven years ago now the mental scars when she got home took longer to heal than the physical wounds but she got there x.
Yes it was a very bumpy ride and I still marvel at her recovery everytime I see her you would just never know. Hope it is not much longer now for your husband x
That is great to hear. I hope his progress slowly continues. What good news to read this morning. All my best wishes to you all and strength to your husband to continue healing. 🤗
This is emotional in all the best ways, it has filled my heart with joy for you and for him and is fantastic news. Sharing in all your feelings, and going on praying and rooting for you both. 🙏❤️🩹💞💫
That sounds like positive and happy news. Really hoping he now has a smooth journey to full recovery-you’ve both been through the Mill in your different ways, so you could certainly do with some calm now.
How lovely to know he is responding now, what a lovely valentines gift. Hopefully the worst is behind him and he is now on the mend. Sending you love and a big hug xx
That really IS good news 😀. Great to hear and let's hope the improvement is quick. Before you know it, he'll be at home doing what he's told to do again 🤣🤣👏👏👏
Oh I am so pleased for you both. That he is showing signs of recovery. I hope he has improved again for the next time you go. You must be so relieved. Take care. Brian
Did you know that you can get reduced parking at the hospital? "
Standard parking fees are applicable on the first time of visiting.
After a patient has been admitted then the visitor would then be required to pay a reduced cost of £6.40 each week for the remainder of the time you are visiting an in-patient.
What a lovely Valentine’s Day moment to share with your husband. Onwards and upwards from here wishing him a full recovery and hoping you can relax a little now after the past few weeks ❤️
Hello Castleview. That's really good news and he'll improve every day now. I think hubby just needed those extra days to recover. You can explain why he's got that weird tube in his throat! Best Valentine's Day gift you'll ever get. Always thinking of you and lovely hubby.
What a relief it is when they start to wake up, although my hubby struggled to separate fact from fantasy for several days after, but by playing a fun game of true or false we established no, he wasn't in Japan, no that isn't a fancy coffee shop in the corner of ICU, and so on..Delighted for you that your hubby is finally coming around.
