Hi again dudes.

Chantelle has today been moved to ward as she no longer requires one to one nursing. This is a positive step but unfortunately as she has not regained consciousness we have been told that that she is unlikely to recover or perhaps ever regain consciousness.

She has opened one of her eyes several times without stimulation and on occasion has kept it opened for over an hour....but during these periods she will not respond to commands ie squeezing hands.

I have no idea where that leaves us and I am truly devastated.....The only thing I have left is hope and I refuse to give that or my beautiful blue eyes up.

Thank you for your good wishes.

Aw man. That's just terrible. So sorry to hear that. I can only speak for myself, but I believe that all of us have been thinking about what you must be going through. It's a minor condolence, of course, but there's a lot of sympathy out here. Let's all hope for some happy and Dudely light and fortune to shine on your tough predicament.

Caesar dude, much positive vibes, and I am sure much positive prayer, is going up for you and your special lady friend and partner, Chantelle.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that we stand with you and refuse to give up hope. For sure; never give and never except defeat! Tough times don't last, but tough people do. Dude, vibes and prayers that both of you are tough dudes who will make the semis! Always abide, Caesar dude, always abide! And of course, much heart felt sympathy.

CD,
I am awfully sorry. I may not have the appropriate words at hand so all I know to say is: May you have the strentgh to abide, both of you, while you go through this. Be sure there are many dudes out there in this small world that are with you, mentally or spiritually.

Take good care, of yourself too, dude!

Hi again Dudes and once again thank you for you kind words.

I've just come back from the hospital as now she has been moved they have very strict visiting hours and she is at Addenbrookes in Cambridgeshire which is about two hours away. However they are talking about transfering her back to the Norfolk and Norwich hospital which is ten minutes from where I live. This will make things a lot easier for me and her family.

My work have been brilliant in letting me take all my annual leave over the last few weeks but I have to return to work on the 3rd of March. Ho hum.

It's a minor condolence, of course,

It's actually a great comfort to me just knowing you guys are wishing her well. Once again thank you.

Peace dudes.

Hi again dudes.

I'd like to give you all an update on Chantelle's condition.

As Chit is now in her hometown she is obviously receiving more visitors. Tonight one of her best friends came to see her for the first time since the accident....and Chantelle had her eyes open and actually smiled at her. She did this several times then later she smiled for me!

This means so much....it means she is aware of people and herself, can recognise/remember people and most importantly can do something on command...

I am so happy at this tiny step and I needed to share it with you guys.

Thank you all again for your dudely vibes....your mojo and your medicine men keep those good thoughts coming dudes...and hey Banjo dude and any of the other new Reverends...don't feel for a second that you shouldn't comment just because you haven't met me on the forum. I'm grateful for all of your positivity.

Dudely blessings to you all.

[cckeiser]

Good news indeed dude!
Will keep it all working for your special lady dude!

[forumdude]

Far fucking out man! That's a wonderful occurrence! Hope it's an inkling of lots of better things to come. I can honestly say it's made my morning. You deserve some good news, do you not?

Hey man, that is awesome news for sure! Sounds like your lady friend is abiding and getting better, Caesar dude. Still keeping the good vibes coming hers and your way, though dude! But way cool report!!

[meekon5]

Caesar so happy for you.

Hopefully things continue to improve mate.

I continue to light candles for you and yours.

It's been a while since I last updated you all with Chantelles progress.

She is now in what the medical fraternity call a minimally conscious state. No longer in coma as she opens her eyes for long periods of time and squeezes hands and blnks in what we hope is response to our voices. She has smiled at me only once since the first time she did it a few weeks ago but it still lightens my heart.

They took away her naso gastric tube two weeks ago and fitted a PEG which means she now gets fed straight into her tummy, (also any drugs she needs go straight in there too which means less risk of infection.

She is breathing well on her own but still has the trachy fitted, they review this every week and are now trying to wean her off.

It's been 10 weeks since the accident and my life has simply been turned upside down. A reality I could never have foreseen.

I am still totally confident that Chantelle will eventually respond in a meaningful manner and will one day speak to me...it will just take time!

Thanks for listening dudes and keep the goods though pouring her way.

Peace dudes.

Dude, this is all good news. Very glad to here that your lady friend, Chantelle, is doing much better! But, positive vibes still going your way.

Continue to abide, dude!
