More Sleep, More Sustenance

Frank has been much brighter over these past few days. He was grumpy on Sunday due to a poor night's sleep on Saturday night, but much brighter when I spoke to him earlier this morning.

The good news is that his heart is beating regularly again and the fluid on his lungs has gone. This has been a massive boost and although he's not quite out of the woods, it shows that progress has been made.

The main issue now is Frank's lack of mobility. This physiotherapists starting working with him yesterday as this is now the main focus of his recovery. Having been in bed for over a month his muscles are weak and it's slow progress, although he's able to sit out of bed and walk/shuffle around the ward. Now he's sleeping better (and eating 'proper' food) I'm sure he'll be under cars, on top of roofs and back in the pulpit in no time!

He's had various visits from his brother and other family members which has cheered him up. He's not quite ready to see other people just yet, but once he's feeling bright again I'm sure he'll welcome you all with open arms!
