One year ago

Exactly one year ago was the worst day of our lives. Jaana was extremely close to leave us and the fear and sadness were endless. A few days later her chances improved and so did her skills, just to be later hammered down with a dangerous and aggressive mycoplasma bacteria. At the low point, she did not respond at all nor was she able to move any part of her body, not even her little finger.

The reason I bring you all back to this, is to point out her remarkable and extraordinary recovery. She now can sit for hours, hold up her body straight, move every muscle, stand up with support for minutes, control her trunk and much more.

Jaanas recovery will continue for a long time. One has to realize that the steps might get smaller, just for us to be surprised with a huge leap one day. I am still confident that she will, with a some lighter aid, be able to walk again.

To all of you following her progress from far away; we thank you. I always tell Jaana about your comments, even if I do not read every single one of them to her. She appreciates this very much and I know she misses you all.

From Jorgen, Ludwig, Jonathan and Camille, we would like to say to my wife and our mother that we love you very much and will always do so! We are blessed to have you around us every day.

8th of September

2.40pm Monday afternoon. As you all know, Jaana had her birthday on the 6th of September. She could do anything she wanted, and opted for a very relaxing day. She watched some TV, slept, kids played with her and we had some bbq for dinner. Her training is tagging along. As always, her balance is getting better, but her speech is not showing as much improvement. Again, this is not only lack of coordination, but also the initiation part of the brain which suffered as well.
The kids start school tomorrow! I think that they all long to spend some time with their friends (most left for the summer) again. The school is very small, but there are quite a few new kids and heaps of new teachers coming this semester.
