Well here we are one week later and what a week it’s been. Allan is progressing really well. The ventilation tube is out and the oxygen supply is being reduced daily. He can now converse with his medical team and his parents and we were informed that yesterday they actually had him standing for a few moments – not easy for him but he is trying. He also asked for a crossword book to pass the time so his mind is bright. Allan only does the Daily Telegraph crossword which is out of my league. The Doctors and Nurses are all very pleased with his progress so here’s hoping things get better everyday. I will let you know when Allan is out of ICU and on the recovery ward. PS ALLEN SAYS HELLO TO YOU ALL and THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD WISHES..from his family we say love to each and every one of you. xxx
So great to hear this!
Great news! Sending positive thoughts for his continued recovery !
Wonderful new Sam, We will continue to keep Allan, and his family, in our thoughts. Makes for a much better weekend!
Great to hear, and all best wishes to him! (Although he should be doing a better class of crossword than the Torygraph — the Grauniad or Indy, for example.)
Ha Love it John, love it!!! 🙂
Nice going, Allan! Always great to get that first step going!
Yay. Great news. Thanks so much for the update.
Excellent news, especially that he’s starting to get up and around. It is SO important. I send continued good vibes and good wishes.
Every new day is a good one. Carry on, Allan.
Good news indeed! Nice to see an upbeat photo too.
It’s good to hear Allan’s doing well – best wishes to him and his family!
Best wishes to Allan and his family.
I just found this update, having had unreliable wi-fi service during my just-completed road trip. Thrilled to hear that Allan is improving and will continue to keep him and his family in my good thoughts.
Fantastic news….and about time too. Good to see Allan with Dalek guards.
