We went to see Jim twice today. This morning he was asleep so we did not wake him. In the evening he was agitated and a bit distressed, as he was on Christmas Eve. He rolled a lot in some discomfort on the bed while we were there. He appears to be suffering from some quite bad headaches.
While he was being changed we saw some of his injuries at close quarters. Jim has a long scar from his chest to navel where his spleen was removed, a scar on his shoulder, and a lot of bruises from the accident. These all appear to be healing well. Communication is still very limited, and we look forward to hearing Jim speak again when his tracheo tube is removed.
To outward appearances, his recovery has been slow over the past three days, but he is gaining strength in his limbs, and getting used to moving them.
