Out of Hospital

Daniel had an hour and a half of physio today and he even managed a bit of a walk with his frame, albeit with the physio holding both of his legs each step. She said that he walked a lot further than most rhizotomy patients do five days after the operation.
This afternoon we left the hospital with mixed feelings as we liked all the staff and an extra pair of hands comes in handy with Daniel being weaker than normal. However we are pleased to get to our hotel that will be our home for the next 26 nights and to move in to the next phase of the treatment. Daniel is improving every day and hopefully the worst days of our trip are over.
Before bed time Daniel gave me his view on the television that he has seen quite a bit of in the last few days, "Daddy the problem with American telly is that it's sport or something dumb", a good point well made.
Looks like the fundraiser at Maharanis was a real success and many thanks to our friends who set the evening up, to everyone who attended, the restaurant, and of course Adey Swindells for filling in for me and doing a better job than I would have done.

  1. What a wise sage young Daniel is. Hope the physio continues to go well and he sets a new recovery precedent for other children having this operation. With love, Louise & Porky. xxx

    Good to hear everything is going so well, it's always difficult the first few weeks after a major operation, but I'm sure you will see some amazing changes as Daniel gets stronger again.

    Hope you can find enough things to do out there, oh and please don't come back with an American accent!!!

    Take care
