Up and about

All systems go this morning as Quent dispensed with the hospital gown, the nasal gastric tube and the cathater. He ventured outside his room, had lunch and this afternoon saw Oakley. They had a great time together. We had to get a nurse to tell Oakley to go quietly when we left, to avoid an almighty scene and a 2 year old squatter on the ward.

We are aiming for a release date of Friday but there is a rumour Quent may get parole tomorrow. He is very thin, so my job will be to feed him up gradually. I had better get reading those books I bought at the beginning of the blog!

Thanks to everyone for your patience and continuing support. No calls or visits when he's first home, please as he will be needing lots of sleep (I have been told I must be strict on this). That said, I am sure he will be keen to start seeing people in a week or so's time. Watch this space.
