another update.

Sunday was his birthday. I managed to visit, and he got a bit agitated but was pleased to see me. I didn't stay too long as he wasn't really comfortable with having visitors, but I gave him his cards, cake that I made and a take away curry (his favourite) gave him a cuddle and a kiss and let him get on with it. he blew me a kiss when I was going. Monday when I phoned, he talked to me, and we had a bit of a chat. more of a two way thing, rather than him just responding to the things I said to him. Tuesday I rang again, and we talked for a lot longer, and he seems pleased to hear from me. he said he only feels okay when I'm talking to him. I phoned his family to get an update, and found out that he would be moved to the open ward today. which I would have thought they would have let me know right away. but good news. so today I visited on the open ward. saw him for a little bit, had another lovely cuddle, and managed about 15 minutes before I felt like he wanted us to go. this evening I phoned him again, and we had another chat. he told me that seeing me and talking to me keeps him going. he really does seem to be improving. I hope things carry on in this direction.
