Can't keep a good man down..

Adrian continues to improve slowly.. So long as its continual and permanent, I don't  think anyone will complain.

At the moment, he is with a panel of medical students. He volunteered to be poked, prodded and examined as his case is so unusual and interesting. He is likely to be away with them most of the day.

His speech has not come back to what it was on Thursday morning, but his voice is strong, words slow but deliberate. His inner strength and determination both inspires and fills me with such hope and love. 

Those reading along will have noticed we don't normally gush about our love for one another, it has seemed unnecessary and neither of us need or want to buy into the superficiality of societal  expectations... But I've also come to the realisation, that in not acknowledging love publicly,  it has the danger of being missed, devalued, taken for granted and ignored...... So my message for you is shout it out on the rooftops, be outrageous and passionate... Love with your whole being..dont let those around you forget who you are... Because they may forget who they are in the process.

A little book of inspiration.. Can You Help?

Want to help Adrian and I but don't know what or how? 

I'm collating a book of inspiration and would love your contribution.

Please email me (annie@annieevett.com) with up to three of YOUR favourite quotes ( with who they may be attributed to if you know) Ill print out or write the out into a beautiful notebook along with your name and read them out to Age as he heals. 

Quotes can be from anything, but ones you personally have drawn strength or light from. 

Any other messages of healing and love are also welcome.

It is a dark time for both of us, and even after he heals, we have a number of challanges to work through together.... But I have faith our grounding of trust and truth will carry us over the bumps in the road recently experienced.

Slight panic.. But all is well with Age

After seeing Age so brilliant this morning, and staff so delighted with his rapid recovery, the peeps and I went to the movies. Age was meant to be moved into the ward by midday, so we went there straight  away after the flicks were over.

Worried looks and furtive glances at me when I asked where he was sent alarm bells straight away, coupled with the 'there is nothing to be alarmed with, but they need you down at ICU straight away.'... Ekkk

When I got there, I wasn't allowed in as the medical staff were still working on Age. He had stood up and walked to a chair, waiting for the wheelchair to come and get him to take him to the wards, when he collapsed.

He was in a critical state when they got him  to the MRI, but thankfully came round enough to stop them putting a tube down his throat again.

So it was a welcome sight to finally see him when they finally let us in.

He was very drowsy and drifted in and out of consciousness . We stayed a few hours till the nurse told us to have a breather.

His head was a lot more swollen as well.

We returned after the kids had gone to dance practice and were delighted to find he had been moved to the wards.

He is in bed 21 - still in 8 A south.

Age is still very drowsy and has had a few minor seizures.we reckon that They aren't giving him his meds correctly and that they even lost one lot. Which caused a seizure.. Just as well i had some of his normal stuff on hand. I gave it to the nurse who put in the order at pharmacy to get it right .. Hopefully.. I know they are overworked.. And the nursing staff there have been so lovely.

 I got a photo of the kids talking to Age. He is fairly unresponsive, but I reckon he will be back to his cheeky self tomorrow.

Love, visits and good wishes are welcome!
