Xmas and New year updates
Over the xmas break andrew has been in good form. On xmas day we took him out for the day and had dinner at a friends house which andrew ate soup,turkey and mashed potatoes,2 bowls ice cream, 5 ice lollys and 4 cartons of apple juice!! This is what andrew has improved on in the last month and his swallowing is still getting better. He has soup at least twice a day and then his dinner at night along with about 4or5 ice lollys during the day!! Although he is still getting peg fed aswell its only now for a couple of hours a day. Hopefully he will get rid of the peg tube soon this will be another huge step forward for him. Also andrew has been out ten pin bowling alot over the break with family and friends which he really enjoyed and it got him out of the hospital for a few hours each day. New year for andrew was better than last new year as he was able to take a drink, all be it apple juice but its better than nothing!! andrew took the bells in the hospital with family and friends again, he was able to talk to us which he was unable to do last year this shows you how far he has come with his rehab. Theres still no word back about andrew going through HBOT so hopefully we will find out soon . Over all andrew has done really well over the festive break which for him it must of been harder for than the rest of us but we are all really proud of him for that and hes still doing and trying his very best for that its all we can ask of him!!
