30th of March

6.01am Monday morning. This weekend I had the two professors from Miami flown in to meet Jaana again. They were both quite pleased with her improved posture, her continued strength and glad to see that her mood had improved some what. They further concluded, as all the therapist and I have written before, that the major obstacle is the lack of initiation. There are some stimulating medication we will try, but it will take some time before we can certify any difference. Furthermore, Jaana got 300 units of Botox to ease up her left arm and shoulder. This should take full effect in a couple of weeks and last for 3 months again. This really does wonders for her as she can really work with her whole boddy during this time. Even Jaana's rehab has changed some what. She is now going to the therapist's office where they have special equipment twice a week. She seem to like to get out of the house a bit and see other views. Therapy is still on in her prepared room at home twice a week and then on Wednesdays she goes to a a 'Women Inspirational Groups' with the occupational therapist. In addition there is yoga and some other activities.
On Thursday I will travel with the children to Sweden. The boys will stay in Stockholm and Camille will go with me to Italy for 5 days to check out the house project. After that we shall return to Stockholm, pick up the boys and spend two days in London on our way back to Barbados. I think all the kids are looking forward to this.

6.50pm Tuesday evening. As I just returned after a week in Europe, I can report that all is fine over here. Jaana has been working as usual and on Thursday, her neurophsycologist is coming in from the US. She is still on the same dose of Zoloft, which seem to help, even though she was noticeably more upset when I was gone. Anyway, all back to normal now until the kids to go Europe for a week around Easter.
My father left today after spending just under 2 weeks here when I was gone. He met many of our friends who all were very kind to pop by and make the period as short as possible for the Molen family. Jonathan had been surfing with one of his buddies and Ludwig joined in as well.
Finally, I have to as a proud father, express my delight that Ludwig has been doing extraordinarily good in school lately with some fantastic grades through superb attitude. I know if has nothing immediately to with Jaanas recovery, but most of you have written to me to get a family update. So there it is.
