The tube feeds, the normal food and supplement drinks are all working and Malcolm has gained weight not lost it. Amazing.
He is still having antibiotics, pain killers and nebulisers and the chest drain is still in but he is more mobile. His legs are swollen from the heat and he needs to walk more and elevate them but on the whole he is continuing to get better. If the chest drain was out he would be able to walk more and that is better for his legs and getting his digestive system working properly. The surgeon is still pleased with his progress so we wait.
I watched the Olympic Opening Ceremony this morning and was glad I had the fast fowrard button handy. It got a lot of use.
Here’s hoping for more positive news tomorrow.
Beryl and Malcolm I hope today has gone ok and Malcolm’s chest is getting sorted ,also his legs . It could be worse – we were fighting with a tent on a cliff in Filey last night due to gale force winds. Bet that didn’t happen on the ward ! Also there was a colony of 40 seals off the coast and they all sent their best wishes,
Say thank you to the seals and we hope you are dry.
