Dad remains in intensive care, although he’s no longer in the burns unit. His physical injuries are healing remarkably quickly but he is still full of tubes and very confused. He has his good days and his bad days and, in response, so do we. All the doctors can tell us for certain is that he’s in for a long slow healing process and that we must learn to be patient. I’ll next get to see him on Friday morning.

Sympathy to you, him, all the family. It’s a truly terrible thing to have happened. And I don’t say that lightly.
Hugs, in the hope that that might help just a bit,
Jenny (and Russell)
Big hugs, love. xx
take him a sketch pad and pencils.. it gets old fast in the hospital. And when he tells you the food tastes like crap, believe him, after anesthesia it does.
Also, most food in hospitals is cooked then sealed and reheated. I got this from the kitchen staff.
Dad is a long way off being able to eat food. He’s still being tube fed through the nose.
Has he had his cup of tea yet?
nope. But I think they got a bit of orange juice into him yesterday via syringe
He’s really going to enjoy that tea when he gets it.

Best of luck to him. Please give him our best wishes.
Glad to hear he’s progressing well. Patience when you’re on the rollercoaster is very hard to come by. Thinking of you all.
