Spoke with unit this morning.son comfortable since his arrival.he had got upset when h.d.u nurse who travelled with him had to leave.he seems to have understanding.someone had sat with him y/ day for some time explaining where he was etc( I expect they were assessing him). They had asked him if he wanted TV on and he shrugged.I pod?thumbs up.looks like I will get to see him next week.I have name of lady I need to speak to on Monday.you turn up half hour earlier than appointment, take a " lateral flow test", wait for that to be clear and they let you in..everything has happened so quickly doesn't seem real.4 months of nothing much and now this?

Oh wow how exciting, I hope your visit goes well! Seeing my partner the first time was tough for me, very emotional, but it was also wonderful. It gets much easier with time and you will start to see improvements. We do the same thing-half hour early for the lateral flow test, sit outside for 30 mins, then show the negative result and then get to go in. It starts to become your new normal over time. X

Mine got very upset and confused when leaving his happy ward especially leaving Jake his main nurse I think cos of the close personnel care he really got attached to him, good luck with visit, exciting times

This is nice to hear. He's responding to them too and they're asking him what he wants to be comfortable etc. And you'll see him soon which is amazing!
