Today’s update unfortunately doesn’t bring the hoped for news of improvement for Dad.  Yesterday, his blood pressure suddenly plummeted and there was no option but to quickly get him back on the ventilator and put him back to sleep.  The hospital has today carried out a series of tests to try to establish the cause of this worrying setback.  Until we know more, we can only hope that he will be off the ventilator again soon and retracing his steps back to the good progress he was making when the recent, promising, photos were taken.
 
I’ll be flying out to see him tomorrow and knowing how anxious everyone will be, I will try to provide an update as soon as I come out from the first visit.
 
Finally, many thanks to all the BRDC members who signed and sent the huge card and thank you very much too, to Harry Stiller who so kindly organised it and made it happen!  Dad did receive it before he went back on the ventilator and it really did make his day!!!!
 
Fingers crossed that tomorrow will be a better day for Dad.
