Update

Mum and Dad went with my sister in law to see J today.


He's doing ok....still on continuous oxygen...he has fluid in his right lung.
He also has a drip attached, to rehydrate him.


Up until today he was being drip-fed but his Mum managed to feed him some dinner today so that's good.


They haven't tried to move him yet and he is nervous of when they do which is understandable after such a big operation.


I saw my brother on Saturday and he explained more about the op to me. Apparently, apart from inserting more rods into J's spine they also removed sections from six ribs.


They put the rods lower into his back than last time.


Mum said he has glue in his hair from the electrodes they attached to his head which will wash out with nail-polish remover!


J is still feeling low (not surprisingly) but he's ok.........I wish that I could visit him but I will probably have to wait until he comes home.

Still, he's ok and that's the main thing!





I did the race for life on Sunday with Mum, Rose and Artist.

Dad, K, Perfectionist and Smiler cheered us on.
It always makes me cry.....not the running, the signs on the other walkers/runners backs!

Rose and Artist ran the first lap and walked the second.....Mum and I walked both!


We then went to a local pub and had a big meal!
