Well, they have had enough of him in the ICU unit and have fobbed him off to an intermediate ward. I wasn't able to talk to him as the nurse said he was snoring away and had done nothing else apart from that since they moved him, starting to sound like what he does when at home
He no longer has the catheter to the brain but still has one to the chest with a little discharge. Still very groggy but is answering yes and no to questions, i am not getting ahead of myself but things are looking better
Thank you all for the get well wishes but big thanks to Bill Benton and Larry Romig for being there with him and for him being able to hear your voices, i am sure this has made a big difference to his recovery.
Doctor_D, the NHS will only cover him for any treatment in the UK, hopefully his insurance will cover him while in the US. I am in the process of sorting things out with the insurers, not the easiest things to do when on the other side of the pond! I have just spoke with the clinical social worker again and she is very keen to get him back to the UK. We will just have to wait and see how soon that will be.
Regards,
John.
