Week 5 There has been such a lot happening in the past week, Matthew has gone from eating pureed food to having a big mac last friday, he is also, with help, learning how to walk again and use his hands to hold cutlery to be able to eat independently. He is still on a lot of medication and still in intensive care because of his memory problems which we hope will get better as time goes by.

Lisa and myself are having to stay over at the hospital in turns so that he has someone with him at all times. He tends to wake around 3am on the ward and has no idea what's happening so he starts to panic. That's when we need to be there to reassure him. We are hoping he is going to be moved onto a normal ward soon then that will be the next step to getting him home.

Fantastic news, this week Matthew had his Tracheostomy and he has improved so much each day since, then they fitted a voice box and he spoke to us yesterday and he knew who we all were. He still has no control over the movement of his limbs yet and he still has pneumonia but todays another day. We still have a way to go yet but at least it's more positive now. Thanks again for all your support I don't know what we would have done without it. xxx
