Some facts from today
I've just spoken to the nurse who took care of Frank today. She told us that he's been in a chair, but he has difficulty maintaining his headbalance; he has eaten some applejuice (he can swallow, but only if he's well alert, so when he is dozing off, swallowing becomes a risky buissnes), "bragged" to the nurse that he jumped the parachute and he has been listening to the radio. Apparently he didn't like what he heard because he switched channels and volume. All and all the nurse estimated that he's been awake for some 30-60 minutes all over the day. And that is the biggest problem right now, his awareness and ability to stay awake is severly compromised. And that makes it impossible right now to go to a rehabilitation center. Today the rehabilitation physician visited Frank and it is advised that Frank will be discharged to a nursing home and we hope that he will become more alert so that he eventually can profit from rehabilitation treatment. Within three weeks from now, long term prognosis will become more clearly.
We receive a lot off heartwarming messages and we will try to convey them to Frank in some way or another. Thanks for that, it is so comforting for all of us, and we hope in exchange to support you, his friends, collegues, guilds, air dispatchers, gamers, braunfeldsers etc. etc. by keeping you posted about Franks situation.
Thanks for all the love around him!
Esther
