The first attempt to wake Dad was made today, where his medication for sedation is turned off. It can take some time for the medication to wear off, so may not really wake until 24 after the meds are turned off. After a couple of hours without the meds Dad became aggitated so they put him back to sleep. At least he's getting plenty of rest :-)
Otherwise his vitals are good, and there is less fluid being drained from his injured arm which is a good sign. It means his body has started the healing process for his arm in terms of muscles, blood vessels and bones.
Visitors won't be allowed until sometime after he has moved into a general ward - we'll let you know! That could potentially be sometime later next week, but that's only a maybe.

Thats great news!! Thinking of you all everyday.
Glad to know that he has woken. Take Care!
Can't wait to see that Rosella colour shine again. See you soon.
really sorry to hear about your dad's accident. although i've only met your dad once at the airport over coffee (with s., you, your dad, and your grandma), i can imagine him to be a "fighter" and so far from your positive reports, he seems to be just that. it's fantastic news that he's awake - great progress one step at a time!!! :)
remember...stay optimistic - for yourself, your dad, and your family! if ever a down time hits...chin up spidey! just remember that there's many of us out there who have been fortunate enough to get caught into your spidey web, bound together by your friendship, and are thinking of you and are happy to do whatever we can to help - which includes little ol' me who's lucky to be one of them.
best wishes to your dad for a speedy and healthy recovery and to you and your family for staying strong and positive during this tender period of time.
hugs,
~d. all the way from the u.s.a.

From all of us here at...work, we would like to send our regards and deepest sympathy to you all. We hope [he] get's better soon.
