Uphill

Terry has improved greatly in the past few days. The fluid is now off the legs leaving ankles and feet to go. He is feeling much brighter and walked the furthest he has gone today. This does not mean he is well again but it is heading the right way. Friday will see the removal of the final infusion and a move to all oral medication. It seems to be in balance at the moment so lets hope it stays that way.
It will still be a long time before he would be able to come home and still quite a long time in hospital assuming he continues to improve.
It is encouraging to see him a bit brighter given what he has been through over the past 6 weeks. Doctors, nurses and staff continue to work hard to get him up and running. They are doing a sensatiuonal job.
