Hi Everyone
This give a little page has finished now, Solly and Carol want to thank everyone who have helped them tread water while Solly is so ill.
He is still very ill and likely to be in hospital for at least a couple more months.
Thanks EVERYONE for your generosity! It really has been the difference between Carol having a home to go to, or not.
Hi Everyone
I wanted to let you know that Solly managed to stun everyone and walk out of his room, with a little help from physio, and encouragement from Mum.
So exciting! He's trying really hard, and says thank you to everyone who is support him and his family. I'll see if I can figure how to get the video uploaded.
Solly reached 200 days in Hospital this week. He celebrated by working really hard on physio in bed, and was helped out of bed long enough to be able to have a shower.
Solly is still having up days and down days, but wants to thank everyone for their help and kind thoughts.
Its great to see his cheeky grin back again sometimes
Solly had 3 proceedures done today in surgery for about 5 hour, very tired and sore but battleing on
Went to visit today and they had wheeled Solly out side for a bit. He was looking a bit better and being a bit cheeky!
In the last few days there have been a few developments in Sollys health, first the slightly bad, an infection has developed in his hickmans line (which is where they put medicine in, draw blood out etc and is surgically inserted into his chest to avoid a constant barrage of needles) which meant that yesterday he had to be popped back into theatre and now has another line in his neck while the infection is sorted in the chest line.
He's come out of that surgery well and is in a bit of pain so being kept on strong drugs.
On the flip side Solomon is so proud to tell you all that yesterday he managed to stand for the first time in MONTHS. With a bit of support from the Physio and nurses he largely did this on his own. For his heart rate to hold out nice and steady and his legs to be strong enough this is huge!!
Solly is super proud of himself and wanted me to share these photos with you guys, it's nice to be able to give you all some happy news! A lot of these nurses and the physio team have been there for the majority of this journey (in the ward) so it's nice for them to see him improving in some way.
Solly took very ill late yesterday but Drs though it was just his body adjusting to higher volume of feed into his stomach.
Turns out his stomach is not coping at all and overnight he developed a very high temp, which has been up and down today. ICU are back on the scene keeping a close eye on him.
He continued into this morning with serious vomiting.
Feed has been stopped and Drs discussing other options
He's also back on fluids and antibiotics.
All within a 7hr gap - it can change so quickly
Solly's back on the ward, surgery seems successful. Time will tell whether this is the start of the long road to recovery.
Sollys gone down hill is going back for surgery now. A drain was pulled out by accident and another pool of poison has built up in his abdomen again.
Quick update to say weve just got news Solly is out of surgery and on his way back to the ward. More news tomorrow when we know details regarding how successful it is
Hi Everyone
Solly's next surgery should be Wednesday afternoon. If successful this should enable Solly to be 'feed' via a tube directly into his stomach.
This is a dangerous procedure, so we're asking for prayer and positive thinking for Solly on Wednesday.

Today I visited Solly and Carol in the hospital, and printed out and read everyones wonderful wishes and kind words to him, and will add them to his wall in the hospital room. This was a god send, and really raised Solly's spirits.
Solly asked me to pass on thanks to everyone who is helping him and his family right now.
I've taken a photo of his room in the hospital, and if anyone wants to visit him, please contact his mum Carol to arrange a time.
