15 sep (2)

Well not much to report - situation very similar this afternoon and this evening - they are keeping him heavily sedated, but occasionally he kind of surfaces for a minute or so at a time. Eyes open and reality intrudes with a shock into his dazed, drugged consciousness, you can almost see him asking the question - what the HELL is going on here - he sees us standing around and recognition focuses his eyes and then he's gone - but its controlled, he tries to scrach himself but his arms are tethered at the wrists because of the danger of pulling pipes out, and you can see the frustration, anger, pain, and then it goes away and he slips back into the mists. It's going to be a long time, but he's clearly a hell of a lot better than last week. Me and Lyn going back to EL tomorrow and leaving mom behind.
Cheers for now.
