Update for Thursday...

Another short email from Vivien this morning.  Now that he is in rehab, hopefully he won't have as many "issues" as when he was in ICU and the post-ICU ward..

"Hi all, not too much to report except that Edi's skin rash has recurred since yesterday and he's on some tablet which makes him a bit drowsy.  This morning, he had diarrhea twice so he's feeling a blue.  By lunch time, he's recovering a bit, the tummy's settling a bit and he was comfortable with room temperature water again.  Since the morning, he's been having hot water only.

The nurse says he must have his apple juice which is formulated to boost his energy; so he's now drinking it again but mixed with water to reduce the sweetness.  Walked twice using the stroller, once with Hei Meng after lunch and the second time with Caitlin, the physiotherapist.  Due to his diarrhea, he's giving physio a miss for today but is perking up a bit by the time Hei Meng and I left.

The social worker, Fiona, came as I needed her to work with the team of doctors to provide me documentation that is required to apply for visa extension for Edi.  Immigration has asked that I apply for him a medical treatment visa."
