Halloween update

Well some of you may have noticed that Roger has accessed his own blog from his mobile phone, though it was a single line "Still in hospita".  Rather than paraphrase I will paste in Lis' Facebook posting today.

"This has been a very busy and enjoyable week with sons and grandchildren being here with me in Burwell so I am behind with the update. 
Rog has been undergoing intensive speech and occupational therapy since being in J2. He is getting used to his speaker valve and Tim and Chris have been able to talk to him for the first time in nearly 7 weeks. 
I took his mobile phone in and since then have received a few text messages. So, as you can see, things are moving in the right direction.
Roger's swallow is slightly better - fingers crossed this continues to improve. However, his double vision is still making him feel giddy especially when he walks.
The therapists are wonderful, firm, encouraging and kind. We are lucky to have such a good hospital in Cambridge with its own severe trauma ward for patients with brain injuries.
Our delightful little grandchildren have really cheered him up and, although Rog is totally knackered after all his daily therapy, just knowing they are there stroking his hands has been lovely."
