Oh gosh what a terrible time you must have had. I am glad to hear things are improving. Send him our love and hope for a speedy recovery from the forum.

Lyn: I am sure many of us will be grateful for your efforts.

How happy you must feel at your Dad's progress and how happy he must to be progressing,

Best wishes to you all.
 
Lyn,

I'm glad things are going better for your dad and I know that your love will have helped him through at this bad time, just as all the love of my daughters helped me get through even the darkest night.

Love,

Graham.
 
Bless you Lyn for your efforts with the photos, etc. So glad to hear that your Dad is making progress. Best wishes to you all today and in the future.
 
o gosh..thank you all so much for your well wishes...the reason i didnt let it be known before is that i think sometimes we just want to keep our upsets to ourselves for a while...it has been very bad at times and we never expected dad to progress like he is as he was very poorly for some time...but hes a typical tough brummie and wont give in easily...can i just end by saying that unbeknown to most of you this forum and all its members have kept me sane this past few weeks...thank you all...

right back to sorting them pics out..
