Paul update - Day 34


Day 34 – Tuesday 16 December

Help – my ears hurt.....

Just a brief Blog today as we left Paul early yesterday to go to see Status Quo and we didn’t get back until late.

Paul was fine and is now just about able to walk unaided, although he does still try and go too fast (bit of a trend emerging here...) and is still a bit unstable. We had a long chat with the physio about getting Paul home for Christmas; it still looks good although they said yesterday that we would have to get him back to Woodend on Boxing Day, but I have asked if we can extend this to the 27th (as we were originally told) as we were planning to have an open house on Boxing afternoon for those that want to see him. If we have to get him back that day, it will be a bit of a rush and probably very tiring for him. They were going to discuss it further with the Consultant and let us know, but she said that he is progressing so quickly it shouldn’t be a problem.

I did ask if we could get him home this weekend for a trial run but they thought that was a bit soon – in truth they said that getting him home for Christmas is probably about a week or two sooner than they would normally have planned, but as it’s Christmas....

We have a meeting scheduled with the Consultant and therapists next Monday morning so we should find out then how they think he is doing and what the future holds.

Amy spent the afternoon with us and just as we were about to leave Andrew arrived, so we left him with Paul; I am not sure if anyone else visited but thanks if you did.

The normal Blog updating service should resume this evening!

That would be so lovely if we could see him on boxing day, but i guess its up to the proffesionals. See you saturday!
