I have some exciting news, this evening Ron was able to lift his stretched out left leg in the air and hold it there.  He was then able to put down and pull it back to a right angle position.  He was able to repeat these movements several times.  This was so exciting and emotional we both had tears in our eyes.   This was the biggest movement we have seen so far and is really encouraging.

Still no news about discharge date but have been given the OK to take Ron out on Christmas and Boxng Day.
