Just a brief update.
Pat is holding on and is able to nod, head shake, hand squeeze and knows we are there. He has had a Physio assessment and they have agreed for OTs to start some very basic rehab like washing his face with his unaffected hand. Although his outcome may be poor, because he has good understanding of his situation I think this is appropriate to give him some quality of life, for however long that is. I cannot think of anything worse than knowing what is going on and feeling that everyone has given up on you.
It is impossible to know how things will turn out. It could be a long journey or a sudden departure. I am so grateful to all the wonderful staff who are nursing him to the highest standard.
Will blog from time to time with news.
