Another day and Martins speech had improved even more. It still isn't easy for him, the best way I can describe it is like trying to talk with a mouthful of toffee after having several injections at the dentist.
He was having some problems tonight because the light over his bed was making his eyes very sore, so much so that it was causing him to have quite a headache. He has been opening his eyes much more today so this could be a sign that his sight is beginning to return?
I've found it very difficult to describe his overall condition and the way he looks...everyone who sees him for the first time is generally shocked and upset. Even though I've seen him every day since he's been in hospital it still upsets me, especially when we say have to say goodbye.
I did think about taking some photos but I know this wouldn't be a time that Martin would necessarily want to be reminded of, perhaps once he's really starting to make some progress I'll be able to post something.
He's had loads of visitors, both friends and family and everyone's had chance to write something in a diary by his bed. It'll give him chance to fill in the gaps when he's well enough to read it and probably embarrass him totally as well!
