Another really good day. Josh is no longer plugged into anything and is now only on the occasional oral pain medication. He is now allowed normal solid food and is much more mobile.
This afternoon we all went down to the seafront (Joshua in a wheelchair) and enjoyed a bit of sunshine. Libby brought dinner (thanks, Janine 👦) and the kids into the hospital, and we had a nice dinner along with much-appreciated quality ice cream.
Joshua is now much more his usual self and enjoyed starting on his Lego model we bought this morning. Although he is still low on energy and quite weak, it is great to see him so much better. It amazes me daily how quickly the human body (at least, a young fit human body!) can repair itself. The wonders of modern medical science also continue to amaze me. I keep thinking that every little thing that they bring out (from the electric beds to each medication, to the drip, catheter, scanners, rubber gloves, dressings and on and on) was someone's life's work. I'm glad Joshua going through this now, and not a hundred years ago!
