This is latest:

Yesterday was good day.
Not only can he catch and throw he is doing very well with his physio.
Last night and today the Dr cleaned his leg and is pleased with the muscle growth and the lack of infection.
Philip is however running a bit of a fever so they changed antibiotics yesterday - they will last him to the UK.
So that we can get him into a wheel chair (today) he has had the metal pins in his left leg trimmed.
It wasn't the easiest job but with a pair of bolt cutters and some grunts the Orthopaedic Surgeon managed it.
Philip was in obvious discomfort - the Dr said 'It's good that you feel pain' Phil said 'I hate it when they say that'.
Over the past few days Phils appetite has not been good. Well with a little help from Lana, our resident chef, that
has changed. He ate like a horse yesterday and today.
At 4am this morning the Philip PAIN v NHS battle was in full swing.
Queen Mary's have now rejected him and suggested that Kings College may be able to treat him.
Now its later in the day we have heard more positives but we still don't have a hospital for sure.
As we left the hospital last night Dr Moreno was stood next to his car.
I said to him 'Before I leave I would love to have a go in your car'
He handed me the keys and off I went - I have always wanted to have a Ford Mustang - now I know why !
Philip currently sits in 'Chandler / Joey' style chair and really likes it.
We all look forward to tomorrow with anxious optimism.
