Good news today. This morning I collected George again and went up the hospital to see Dad, and meet with one of his doctors. The doctor went to great length to describe everything Dad had been through and all that they had done to address his condition. The key points were that all his vital signs are now stable, he is going in the right direction, and that if things continue like this, they hope to have him home by the weekend. Unfortunately, it will take him several months before he is back to full strength. However, with rehabilitation, the doctor doesn't think that this should be a problem.
When we got around to seeing Dad, he looked 100% better than he had done yesterday, and even better than he had when he was in the Whittington. All his monitors and drips had been removed, and they moved him to a ward room to be with four other patients as he didn't need constant monitoring. He sat upright in a chair and talked easily, not labouring as he had been only yesterday. And he didn't look as tired. It was a real relief to see how much he had improved in one day. He certainly gave us a shock at the weekend.
