It's a slow process .........

Sheena and I have just been in to see Dougie.
The improvement in his lung condition continues although much more slowly than a couple of days ago. He continues to be weened off the ventilator but still has a way to go yet.
He had been worked pretty hard yesterday afternoon and evening and as a result he slept nearly all the time we were there. The lack of response was a bit disheartening but I guess its not surprising.
His gripping responses appear to be getting stronger.
All in all, a bit like the curates egg ..... good in parts.
Keep on fighting Doug.

Dougie

Reading that your being cheeky to the nurse and smiling about it lets me know that your fighting hard in the way that you do.....positive, strong and with a glint in your eye.

Your in our thought, your in good hands and your a survivor...

Just heard the news from Colin McKee . Here in France the spring is warm and comforting after a long winter in the cold. Lets all hope the signs of spring keep showing in Dougie

lots of love from Dunc, Saskia, and the kids
