Halo is off!

Hello all,

Just a quick update -- I went to see Graham on Wednesday with Dylan and we found Ian there already. They were sitting in the day room. Dylan had not seen Graham since he left LGI so that was about 8 weeks and he remarked that the changes in his condition are clear to see. He had not seen Graham sitting up in a wheelchair so that was a huge difference. Also, when Graham talks now he is quite animated with his arms and we are all pleased to see this. It was good to see Graham's progress through Dylan's eyes. I am attaching two photos from Wednesday for you to see. One shows them in the day room, and the other is at his bedside.

Airasa phoned me last night after visiting her dad and says his halo is off as of yesterday afternoon. He now has a collar on but no halo, no metal, no jacket. I will see him on Saturday evening and take a few photos to send along with his new look. Airasa says he is feeling very chipper and it is great to be able to move his head a bit. I believe progress will be swifter now.

I am taking the laptop in on Saturday evening and he will hopefully have enough energy to write his own update then. If not, I will let you know how things are.

I am looking forward to seeing him without all his 'metalwork'.

Keep those cards and letters coming folks!!

Love and peace,
Linda
