thursday`s visit


What did Dad the world of good today was that Chris and Jill Craft came to see him and Chris somehow, in talking about cars, even managed to get Dad mimicking driving with an invisible steering wheel, which was great to see!!! It was definitely a good tonic for him to see Chris and Jill.

Dad continues to make good progress and the doctors are particularly pleased with his stable blood pressure which is a reflection of his general condition being very satisfactory. Dad's main problem today was that his skin felt very itchy and frustratingly, he isn't always able to reach to scratch.

Also, Dad has been started today on some medication to see if they can try to get his kidneys working on their own again.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's visit but at the same time, am all too aware that my week here is drawing to a very unwelcome end. It will, as always, be very hard to leave.
