Update

Just a quick update, before Ellie destroys the lounge! Socialworkdad is still in hospital, with no signs of a discharge date yet. He has had an EEG, and should be having an MRI today (if he can get an appointment). He has memory tests with a psychologist planned for Monday. Given that there are no tests planned for over the weekend, I’m trying to get him ‘weekend leave’ with the promise that I’ll do some good observations for them. (Although I would rather they speeded up getting the tests done!) He is no better yet. He is still having ‘frozen’ moments when he appears lost in thought which can last about 5-10 seconds, although he’ll snap out of them if you call his name. His memory is still very patchy. When he was admitted, he had blanks what had happened the day before – yesterday he couldn’t remember that Ellie and I had visited 2 hours previously. Socialworkdad is, as you would expect, bored with hospital life, and quite worried and stressed about what is happening to him.
