Mum and I went shopping this morning to buy Dad some clothes and other toiletries. He is allowed out of his purple robe now and into some comfy shirts and slacks.
Dad had a fair few visitors yesterday, Kath and Pat from USQ, Warren Sulley, Mark, Sue and Kate and Carmel, plus Mum and I. So as you can imagine he was very worn out by the end of the day. We have decided that we will need some sort of roster/ time limits for visitors. He absolutely loves everyones company so much that he doesn't want to let anyone leave and wears himself out in the process. I am going to attempt to make an online roster for people to select days they would like to come and see Bryan, this way we won't have 10 people coming on one day and one the next day!
This early stage of Dad's recovery is perhaps the most important. His immune system is still on the mend and he still needs a lot of rest, although he may not think so. I will make sure dad has a break from 12-2pm each day while he has visitors.
Warren gave Dad an old voice activated, voice recorder that he was no longer using. Dad says that he has been waking up at all hours of the morning with all these ideas but no way to write them down. So using the recorder was one theory we had. It works alright but maybe better when Dad gets his voice back fully.
Warren also brought his video camera down and took some footage of Dad. Hopefully we will be able to get some more videos in the future for the blog.
Until tomorrow...
Love Bec and Family

Hi Bryan this is your mate Skye here. Just letting you know how I am going. I am being looked after by two old geysers one is grey haired and talks all day to me. I sit there and pretend I listen but as soon as he turns on these noisy machines I run under the deck so they wont get me. The other person is good she takes me for a walk every day. She went mad at me one day because I stopped and she kept walking and I nearly pulled her arm out of her socket. I sleep on the deck and the girl comes out every night to see if I am warm and wraps me up in a blanket. They also bought me the biggest bone in the world and I am still chewing on it. They let me into their garage of a morning and I watch them get breakfast and its a bit warmer in there. Saw your pictures and think Its great your out of I C U and got a bit of sun. Better go I am going for a walk, will keep you up to date on whats happening to me. Keep well and dont give those nurses a hard time. Love Skye your mate lick! lick!
