[ozmidwifery] My Brother

[Mary Murphy]

Hi all, apologies to those on more than one list,  you will be getting this in quadruplicate.  My brother is making a miraculous recovery thanks to God and all the doctors and nurses at Royal Perth Hospital.  Thank you for your prayers and warm thoughts of support.  He has the drains out of his brain and nearly all the other tubes out.  He is able to sit up in a chair and yesterday walked 2 metres to the toilet for a bowel action.  You may not know how great that is but he says that is the best yet!.  He is talking coherently, has good logical thought patterns, recognises everybody and doesn't seem to have any weakness in his limbs.  He drops off to sleep for a minute or two every 5 minutes or so, but I guess that could be from the oedema etc.  we will have to wait and see what residual damage there is as time passes.  Once again thank everyone.  Cheers, MM
