Oh that's wonderful news. Dizzi keep up your fighting spirit and with the help of the physios and the thicker food it won't be too long before you are home.

Carol, thank you once again for giving us the good news.

Love, Sallie.xx

Oh great news, and Gwen still has her fighting spirit which is the best news. I hope the work the physios are doing will help her regain her strength along with the more nourishing food.

love and hugs Gwen

Have a great time Elainexx

That is good news :-D Thank you Carol for this cheery update. <3

I have just had some really good news; Dizzi has had a lot of her pipe work removed, no more intravenous drugs going into her neck.
Also all day today they have been allowing her to breathe on her own for 4hours, then aided for 2hours, hopefully by the time I see her next weekend she will be coping well on her own.
Though still being tube fed, this food is now thicker to start building her back up.
Physio have been getting her sitting up & worked on her arms & legs.
She must be feeling better because she wants to know when she can go home. When told she has to be able to stand & walk before that can happen, she mouthed ‘GET A WHEEL CHAIR’

I am off to the German xmas markets for a week from next Sunday. I'll have to give Carole mi mobile number so she can text me how you are doing. I can't be a week without the updates. <3 <3 <3 <3 to you,keep :-D :-D :-D,and no more :-P :-P,just try to behave.

I bet Dizzi was impressed with her male Nurse, :-D :-D

Sending daily hugs

Good morning, I do hope Dizzi is feeling better as each day passes.

Once she's out I promise to let her win the battle of the sticks :-D I'll even suffer the bruised legs ;-)

C'mon Dizzi it's onwards and upwards now.

Me and him

Sue :-D

Ohhh

I have been thinking about just how terrifying it must be, to wake up from a deep sleep, to find you can't speak....and then you realise you have a tube inserted in your throat!

Aww, poor Dizzi.:-\

This is going to take some time.....but i know you will pull through this.

You are my shining star and likkle ray of sunshine

I wish i could whisper in your ear............"Oi, you are gonna be ok!"

Cos you are..................

Prickles.

<3xxxx <3

Just knowing folk care and are thinking about you can go a long way to aid recovery. :-)

Sniff!

I just knew she would......I don't think she realised how many people cared.

Was quite tired last night so am now expanding details of my hospital visit to Dizzi on Sunday.
Having scrubbed up & put on our plastic aprons we were shown were Dizzi was... not that we needed to be shown, that colourful hair spread out across a pillow could only belong to our Diz!
The slit eye look went as her eyes opened wide and a broad grin formed above her pipe work, when she heard our voices.
We practiced our lip reading skills as she mouthed questions, refused to smuggle her a drink of water even if she did pout, as she cannot swallow yet. We did tell her that the food bag did look like a latte & promised a real one from the Costa downstairs as soon as she is allowed it.
We passed on all your good wishes & told her that she had a support thread of over 20 pages, when her eyes screwed up I had to tell her that she must not grizzle or they would think we were upsetting her & send us away.
Though she is still quite weak & nods off every so often, her One to One Nurse Demetri (Yes male. lol) said that she had cheered up since we arrived.
We left her with a smile on her face promising to visit again next week.

Dear Dizzi

Hello


Very pleased and relieved you are feeling better.

Will be very pleased when you feel able to post on the GR boards.
