OK — so since my last blog about wanting to do some festive blog posts alot has happened but not alot of blogging thats for sure! Im not going to say too much as its not really the place but i just wanted my readers to know that i have not disapeared & am still here.
My dad who is 53 had a massive stroke on the 14th December we were told he might not make it. As a result of the swelling on his brain he had to have an emergency operation on his brain & they have removed part of his skull. His stroke was on the right handside & so has effected his left side. He has no movement in his left side. He spent 4 days in Intensive Care & then back to the Stroke ward. He has made such a dramatic recovery from the surgery that has amazed all the staff — he is a tough cookie, thats for sure.
Its been a crazy 3 & half weeks but the great news is he has a place at a specialist brain injury unit & has stared 6 months rehab program We don’t know if he will be able to walk or use his left arm again but that’s the challenge that is ahead. Its been tough to see my dad so ill & fighting for his life but i am hoping for great things from 2012 & my dad is ready to crack on with the challenge.
So we are still here at Koolbadges & with the help of family & friends badges are being sent out.
