Hi All just wanted to give an update on Si as you’ve all be so kind with your advice and words of comfort. The other day I decided whilst I was visiting him to write “yes” and “no” on pieces of card. When I asked him a question, I asked him did he understand me, he pointed to “yes”!!! Ever since we have been using them as have the medical staff, we have found out he has been in pain at times, I asked him if he understood and knew what had happened to him, he pointed to “no”, I asked “do you want me to tell you?” He pointed to “yes”. I told him his story and when I mentioned the first doctor on that dreadful Saturday the day after it happened and what he told me, si burst into tears. 
I then told him how far he’d come and how well he was doing, I asked him “are you coming home si?” He pointed to “yes” 
. He has been having physio and being put on the board that turns into a chair, his head positioning is becoming stronger and he can turn his head from left to right unsupported after being slumped to the right for almost 6 weeks. The nurse shaved him the other day and he coughed, she cut him as the razor slipped. She’s so lovely and said to si “what do you think of my shaving si?” He put the middle finger up to her and smiled the biggest smile, we all literally burst into tears of joy. He is definitely fed up and wants out of there, he can definitely read and looks at the clock when visitors are coming and going. His oxygen levels are around 94%~95% which worries me but they’ve said it’s because of the covid and his positioning in the bed. Anyway I’m praying for another good weekend and week ahead and hope the rehab centre isn’t far away now xx
