113 - walking back to happiness woop ha o Yeah!

Well! having been told a few days ago we were looking at 10 secs unaided in a chair we are ridiculously happy that Dad tried to walk today, ok so he probably shuffled one step but he wanted to he had the balance, strength and the coordination. Of course now he will have to be reassessed and made safer, he can't keep falling - not when he has had a brain injury as such.

He also managed to feed himself a spoonful of pudding with a pre loaded spoon and BIG news he moved his right leg with total ease tonight.

The loveliest moments are still with wee Mabel, he gives a full wide smile and makes a strange noise in the same pitch he uses for the wee ones when he talks to them....so he is trying to communicate.

So all in a really positive day, for the 1st time since last week I really felt I was walking into a room and it was my dad sitting there, it only lasted a few minutes and we were back to confusion and staring, but he was definitely with us - the relief is enormous........hope has been ignited today.
Mon yersel Dad, Love you and desperate for you to see the bairns again xxxx
