Saturday 31st dad's progress

well finally made it to sydney and i got to see my dad.

well i was impressed in how he looked, still sedated and not with it.

When i told him who i was he moved his mouth and fluttered eyes. the kids made him a get well card.

Dean and mum went in and ad opened his eyes & squeezed the ladies hand(nurse) when asked which is a good sign.

He is hair less there is not one part of body they have left hair on, very prickerly.
Mum seems heaps relaxed, which she should be dad will be coming home. It is gong to be a long process but we are happy to wait aslong as it takes.

His BP goes up when we talk to him i think it is him trying to respond to us. He can move his limbs - arms and legs. He is sick of the mouth piece in as he keeps biting it.

On monday he will undergo a head x ray to see if the sedation has caused any brain damage.

Tomorrow Salah dads boss is heading up that wy for a visit, he and his wife have been fantastic.

I will get another trip in within the end of next week. and if he is able to speak over the phone during end of week ill call and tell him i am thinking of him.

Aunty Janeen heading out for a visit tomorrow

He is very fat looking but it is the fluid he is on. He has a huge chest scar and bruising, but clearing well. they regularly shave him and he looks wonderful.

We stopped and grabbed some red rooster and watched the go kart rider. it was a nice dinner but $35.00 i was not happy, but kidsand us needed tuckers.

Got home at 9pm to here mum and sis evacuated from there hotel as it is so dangerous and the owner felt like they were going to be in danger, so they staying with aunty heather.

other then that i am stuffed and heading to bed. Tomorrow we are going to watch the truck expo at shw ground.
