Now the update on Mum and family

As I am back in Newport, the updates come to me via phone calls to Dad and Denise. The feeling I am getting is that she is pretty low as realisation of how things are is dawning. I do not think she knows how far she has come, but seems to be only too aware of how far she has to go. Understandable really.

Dad and D saw Dr. Villar, Mum's consultant, on Wednesday. She is pretty amazed at how quickly Mum has regained function. We will not know how much more imporvement is likely until about a month from now, when the medics can have a better idea. The fact is that she will be in hospital for at least another three months and she is likely to have some impairment remaining in the long run, but we do not yet know how much.

The terrorists (speech and phsysio) have apparantly been working Mum hard recently and I think this will be good for her. Hopefully having something to focus on will enable her to make progress and give her something positive to think about and work towards.

Prayer requests: Postitivity for Mum
Harmony between Dad and Denise
That I will know how best to support them

Thanks.
