Update on Age

As frustrating as it may be for followers of this blog, its triply annoying for us not to have any definitive news or updates.

Adrian sounds stronger on the phone each time we speak or see each other. He has had a number of varying medications for seizures - some have left him feeling like he had cotton wool inside his skull and just being super tired.

He has enjoyed the challenges the medical students study on him and his case has brought him every day, and will report with a grin if he 'passes' another step toward recovery.

His metal staples have been removed, which has been a big relief for him.

He feels really well in himself and at one point today, the possibility was there for him to be moved into a general ward. He thinks this may still be in the cards, so watch this space.

His next step after discharge from the neuro ward is to talk about treatment plans and rehab. There is a strong possibility for him to be admitted into the Cooroy rehab hospital - sounds bad but its for folk who have had accidents etc.. I've looked into it and it looks really nice.. As much as a hospital I guess can be. Regardless of where he will do rehab, its a live in thing where he will be another few weeks.

So still a long journey in front of him, strengthened by those who live and care a great deal about him, fortified by all those visits from lovely mates.

So.. No news here.. Simply means no news..

Chilling out

Great mates, Bec and Xander came to visit this weekend. Apart from lots of long talks and walks, we took time just to chill and read on the verandah. Well, thats to say Lilly and Bec are.. 

I am still having issues concentrating and am unable to follow a storyline. I am hoping the blurryness in the text is just a temporary thing as , at the moment, thought I'd love to read, I cant see well enough to do so.


Making cubbies

The kids have had such s great time this week making cubbies from sticks and vines down along the creek.

Everyday, they take Murphy on a lead, along with a backpack of goodies and disappear for a few hours. Such bliss fir the kids to be running freerange!!

So glad they can have a country life experience throwing sticks and stones into the creek, getting muddy and just being outside.
