Tuesday - 2.10 pm

Michael's just nodded off so I can carry on blogging.

So the crisps was an amazing achievement, and prior to that he even had a nibble of a cheese slice). We spoke to the Nutritionist this morning and it's agreed that the feed is going up to 70ml today and if all goes well, 80ml on Friday. Michael's not thrilled, especially as she'd told him the machine only moves up in 10 ml units and now he's discovered it moves in 1ml units and it's her that has decided to move in 10ml!! She has also given him a two hour break from the feed each day.

Hasn't been sick and I look forward to the day when he may not need anti-sickness drugs. How amazing would that be if he didn't have to inject himself with anything? Tablets is one thing but to be injection free would be amazing. Think I'm getting a bit carried away but nice to even be thinking about progression now.

Apparently Michael spoke with the Coordinator today. They are putting together Michael's exit package (not a wrapped present or anything!) from hospital - obviously not right now but maybe as soon as the end of the month. All of a sudden things seem to be moving quickly and this is all quite encouraging news. We'll be given the dos and don'ts and things to look out for, etc, and it's likely we'll be back here once a week - but one day a week would be an improvement on my journeys now. More I think about it, the more I see no reason for him to go to the flat but we'll just see how things progress. For now, it's nice to think he could be home before the end of the year.
