It's been a year today since my dads stroke and I wanted to post an update. His treatment and hard work has seen a massive improvement in his condition. He now doesn't need any food or drink via the Peg feed he was fitted, something I don't believe we would have seen with NHS care alone. There are many things he can't yet eat or drink and often it is hard work, but there is plenty that he can! So thank you to everyone that has donated to his therapy, we think it was worth every penny and we couldn't have done it without you, thank you Xx

I've been putting off writing this update but I know everyone is keen to know how dad is doing. The test has shown no real improvement. Its also shown an issue with the top of dad's food pipe, but an ENT specialist maybe able to fix that with a procedure. However on a day to day basis he's eating, its hard work and not always enjoyable but the fact he's eating regularly (select foods) is kind of a miracle from where we were. We are enquiring about another round of Vitalstim, knowing more about his problem now we will see if this can help! X
