Here again

He's really good today. Moving his fingers as well as arms and legs now. They said he ooged himself up in the chair, and got his arms through the gown himself. Tomorrow they're getting him on the edge of the bed and into the chair, so all moving the right way. I'm taking his tablet in tomorrow and he can watch YouTube, they'll put it on if he can't manage. He's watching Last of the summer wine now on YouTube through their monitor, lol. He started falling asleep and opened his eyes and mouthed sorry, bless him. Main ventilator down to 0 for 2 x 4 hours a day, so that's really good and his breathing is good. xx

So pleased to hear of his progress, you must both be feeling so much more positive now. ❤️ xx

[Rosie1066]

That’s really good news.

[Rosieapple72]

[JessicaRed]

Brilliant news we are all wishing you both well❤️ 🌞😍

[WeeHoolet]

Wiggly everything, Castleview 👋🙌💖 Wonderful news! It's so good to hear that there's less reliance on the ventilator now that confidence in hubby's breathing has grown.

Wishing you both well as hubby continues his recovery and takes those steady steps towards home 👣🙏😍

Thank you for sharing your difficult journey with us, Castleview. Our familiarity may be virtual, but our caring is real. XXX

[Maisywhippet]

Great news!! So pleased for you both😃

[Weetabixie]

This is so good to read I am so glad and relieved that he's moving his arms, that's huge compared to a week ago, and reduced reliance on ventolation even better. Physio sounds to be working well :-)He'll soon be off ventilator altogether, and that post I can't wait to see. Gentle hugs to the pair of you 🫶

[Afibflipper]

Great news - cheers me up hearing how well he’s doing. Funny I bet there’s a few maybe - we sort of think we know him from reading your posts x

[Lovedogs1]

That’s brilliant news, so glad to hear it.

[BeKind28-]

Hello

It won't be long till he is dancing

He really is doing so well now every post now there is so much improvement and good news which is so lovely to read and I am sure you are feeling so much better than a few weeks ago to

He will enjoy watching You Tube and glad his breathing is so much better and they have been able to reduce the main ventilator and he is breathing so well

We look out for your updates and thank you so much

I think we are all waiting for that post when you say he is home with you where he belongs which even though it might be a little while longer I hope you can see with this progress it will be soon x

[CrofterG in reply to BeKind28-]

Well BeKind I thought I'd check in with you today and see how you are ( just when you thought you were safe from me)I heading off to Raigmore Hospital tomorrow to get my 08:06 alarm cancelled so that should be me.

On a less positive note I broke my digger yesterday right in the middle of clearing the sheds after the winter so back to manual clearing until it gets repaired so if you're doing nothing I have some spare shovels!

[BeKind28- in reply to CrofterG]

Hello

I am actually feeling quite down with one thing and another but you sound very chirpy considering you are of to the Hospital tomorrow I hope you will let us know how you get on

O dear sorry to hear about the digger I am sure though I am busy today ( not sure doing what ) but if I wasn't I would have come and helped for what use I would be x

[CrofterG in reply to BeKind28-]

Good morning hope you are feeling better, I have taken it upon myself to talk with you every few days if that's OK with you?2 secs while I slip my scrubs on and don a stethoscope...... Now tell me all your news and how you are feeling?

By the way I've repaired the digger so you are off the hook with the shovel.

[BeKind28- in reply to CrofterG]

Hello

We will get told of for talking on post you know by someone

Thank you though for asking after me I ended up in A&E actually Friday night and for someone that is agoraphobic that was a task in itself getting me there and still trying to get over the shock of leaving the house

So it is really good news you repaired that digger as I would have been even less use now x

[Gillph]

What an uplifting post to read! It brings hope to all of us who worry but it’s hard not to. Thank you for your lovely updates.

This has given everyone here who is following you, great joy, so imagine your own!! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Happy Silver Wedding to you and here's to you both - May you enjoy many more years of love, happiness and good health together ❤️ 💖

[Hidden in reply to WoodlandLover]

Thank you, I'll second that xx

[JeremiahObadiah]

Happy Anniversary, not necessarily how you might have hoped you would be celebrating but a great celebration of togetherness for you both, nonetheless. 🥳

[Hidden in reply to JeremiahObadiah]

I'm just thrilled he's still with us and recovering so well x

[Wooodsie]

Good news Castleview, except for the bit about last of the summer wine 🥱😂. It seems like he hasn't suffered any long lasting or high impacting brain damage. Soon he could be moved to a high dependency ward, where he'll come on in leaps and bounds I'm sure. Keep looking after yourself too.

[Hidden in reply to Wooodsie]

I think as soon as he's off the ventilator and had the tracheotomy removed, after 24 hours he should be moved to PCU.Nothing wrong with summer wine 😜😂x

[BEATbump]

That sounds like a good day bet you came home feeling a little lighter. My mum in-law loves Last of the Summer Wine. Best wishes. ☺

[Hidden in reply to BEATbump]

Every time I see the episode where they say goodbye to Compo I'm in pieces, sobbing x

[Traveldreams]

Another positive step and Happy Anniversary!

[Bishop1]

Congratulations on your Silver Wedding Anniversary todayGreat news hubby is recovering

Take carexxx

[Bingo88]

Oh it's so good to hear he getting better every day now. And I know you'll be happy as well. Brian

[benjijen]

This is such good news. Its so good reading positive stories. Slow but sure! Xx

[Elsabounre]

Slow and steady...he and you are very patient...that the ventilator is still in is a bit of discomfort..but should be out today..if it still is going according to plan..I hope so...it will make a huge difference...wishing you both continued strength and luck too...everyone here says a prayer for him too..just keep that oicture of him being fine..walking towards you in your mind..positivity plays a big part in recovery.

[Hidden in reply to Elsabounre]

Ventilator has to stay 24 hours after it's down to 0, so tracheotomy will hopefully be out Wednesday afternoon or Thursday x

[Nannysue1]

Sounds like he's winning the fight and you'll soon have him home x

[Cavalierrubie]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[Dempo]
