Thanks for the update Keith. What a lovely pic of Jensen. Come on Toby, keep up the fight, we want to see you holding your new addition and smiling.

Cheers for the update Keith. Doug Collins (Ottershaw Series organiser) also gave me similar feedback at the Surrey League AGM last night. The racers at the AGM were pleased to hear Toby is making progress and we wish you all the best.

I'm really pleased to hear that Toby is getting better and responding to stimuli. I hope he likes Jensen and there's no arguing about the name!

What a grand looking baby you have their Toby. I am looking forward to the picture of you holding him when you are well enough . Good progress on your road to recovery and keep fighting fella.

Is there any further update on Toby? I hope he's still making steady progress.

Maya - if you're reading this then please know you're still in our thoughts all the time. Best wishes. Tamar

From Maya......

Hello all. Toby is making good, steady progress ( but painfully slow) He is still not fully "awake", but drifts in and out, and is now having daily episodes of consciousness. It is still very variable. He is doing really well weaning the trachy tube and they hope to have it out in the next few days. This will hopefully make him a lot more comfortable and help him progress. If anyone wants to visit him, he is at St George's on Kent ward and visiting hours are 3-8 (he is not yet the conversationalist, but he must be so sick of my voice ). Mx

Thanks Keith.
Slow but progress still

[Ghaleb]

Good news, I dont know you Toby but I wish you a speedy recovery !

[Marky Mark]

Come on Toby get your ass in gear before all the snow melts.
Our average speed on the mountain bikes is a scary 5mph so you'll be safe with us.

All the best matey.

Popped in to see Toby this afternoon.

He's certainly made lots of progress since I last saw him, but he's still a long way to go yet. He was concious throughout and responded to some commands, but is easily distracted.

His trachy tube has been removed but he's yet to talk - Maya would dearly love to hear his voice. With her love & support he's being given the best possible chance to make a recovery.

[Marcus]

Great news that he is progressing and let's hope he regains his voice for Christmas.

I missed an update from Maya on Friday (thanks Lucy):

We have had a good week since the trachy came out. Toby is more alert and more often responding to simple commands. It is still very variable, but definitely more often. He is also now tracking people/objects and will even turn his head to do so (hurray- head control is coming back) He still has not made any sounds, but I am told this may take a long time to come. They are going to insert a PEG on Friday (tube for feeding straight into the stomach from the skin) for more long term feeding. This will allow them to remove the tube in his nose that bugs him so much. So, progress is generally slow, but it is all in the right direction.

Hang in there Toby! Thoughts are with you and your family.

Keep up the good work, Toby and Maya. Slowly but surely does it.

It's good to hear that Toby is taking steps on the road to recovery; keep it up.
