Slow but sure....
I thought I would update you all on my son.
As most of you will remember he was involved in a serious road accident in Australia on the 27th January (his birthday) and he had to have his lower right leg amputated.
Well I am pleased to say that he is doing well - we've had a few 'blips' along the way e.g Kidney failure to name one - but all is well now, and he is just waiting for a date to be sent home.
His Australian visa is up on the 10th May, so we are hoping he can be sent home around that date, but we shall see.
Thankfully he is still staying positive about what has happened to him, and is just taking each day as it comes, it will be a long way until he is walking on two legs again, but he will get there, he has the determination - plus he wants to go travelling again as soon as he can, so more grey hairs for his poor mother, LOL.....
He has gone on a 'day out' today to the local town in the suburb where his re-hab hospital is, he is so good with his mobilised wheelchair that he has been given permission to go out alone, he has to catch a train to get there, but he has mastered that, and what is he going to buy when he gets there!! - a bottle of beer and a McDonalds Big Mac, he has been dreaming of both for ages.
