First the good news:
Dad caught the first flight out of Kazakhstan on Thursday, and after 12 hours, touched down in London. A massive thank you to Jeremy for going to pick him up!
Phil got home safe and sound, and the first thing he did was ask for a cup of tea (clearly he couldn't be too bad off)! Immediately followed by a bath and supper.
This morning he went off to the doctor's surgery and they went 'yup pop off to A&E for your thumb' and then we will start sorting out the kidney stuff in the next few days hopefully.
Dad is incredibly tired, but after a nap, he trundled off to Pembury, where he is still (20:24) getting his thumb re-set and some blood work done. He'll be home in a few hours though!
Thank you all so much for the kind words, well-wishes and offers of support for both Dad and Mum & I. We really appreciate it and it's made things a lot less stressful knowing we have such great friends to rely on.
Scarlett, thanks for this update and all the others; this has been an "epic" journey for the rest of us as well as Phil. I'm sure he'll be in his element now, telling the doctors how they should treat his kidney problems. We are all looking forward to a live update soon when we have a full debriefing at Tony's.
ReplyDeleteScarlet, could you please publish a link so that we can follow Max's efforts. Cheers Gren.
