Here's the latest news fingers crossed.
Another good day.
As regular readers will remember, today Philip was to have the operation to correct the bone damage to his left leg and possibly loose the toes of his right foot.
It would appear that the 'Wiggle em or loose em' campaign is working so keep it up.
His toes have shown signs of improvement so the only one now in danger is his big toe and possibly his little one (the one that cried all the way home).
Because of this improvement today's operation was postponed until tomorrow to save him having to have possibly an additional surgery.
All the drugs to keep his organs going have been withdrawn apart from the kidneys that are being somewhat stubborn to start working again. But again there are signs that they are beginning to remember what they should be doing.(basically - they have been clogged up with debris)
They are gradually reducing his coma inducing drugs and will soon encourage him to breath on his own for a short periods, in readiness for when he comes off the ventilator.
I'm guessing that because of today's delay his spine operation will also be moved back to Monday but as yet we have not heard that this will be the case. The doctors are now keen to revive him as soon as they can.
We continue to be inundated with offers of blood and kindness and are very humbled by this.
Philip appearance gets better each day but we have his mirror and tweezers ready for the big day so he can once again pluck out his mono brow.
Joking aside he remains in a critical condition but we now feel confident that his life has been saved and pray that when the time arrives he will be able to walk unaided but obviously with his back injury this is not a certainty.
We have just seen him and all looks good apart from his toes.
