Hi folks,
This morning (4th May) Dougie squeezed Sheenas' hand and repeated the trick for nurses and doctors!!
This was the first sign that he was coming out of the 'locked in' state that so worried us all and that was in contradiction to the lack of damage to the brain stem.
Tell you what, if the WRVS Cafe had sold champagne at breakfast time they'd have sold out this morning :-)
He has also started moving legs and feet on command and on his own.
However all this good news means that he has been descended upon by neurologists, physios and a multitude of specialists and, in consequence, is really tired out.
In oder to avoid interfering with the medical programe we have been asked to back off on visiting for at least a week to 10 days 'cause all the essential stuff is likely to exhaust him.
Regardless, it is all great news ...... well done Doug and keep up the good work.
Thanks to you all for your support and good wishes
Iain
