8.52am Tuesday morning. I was out running this morning and as usual pass the hospital on the way. Jaana was just waking up and was heading for a shower and breakfast. She again seemed a bit better from the cold, but still has some irritating cough and flam.
11.02am Tuesday morning. Just to reconfirm the above, Jaana is much better today. The cold is still there, but she is beating it fair and square. She has had physiotherapy this morning and put in a good effort. I am sure she will be tired in the afternoon, but I will assure she gets another good night rest. The night nurse (who was in her room all night) confirmed she slept all night.
6.09pm Tuesday evening. I am writing this from Jaans room. Right now she is dozing off after a meal with her iPod. Tomorrow they will check with a video camera if her swallowing is good enough. They send down a tube 10 odd centimetres and have her swallow a few bits. All in all she is better today than she was a few days ago. Her alertness is still a bit weak and her speech has not improved, but that is the last thing which will come around.
8.12 Tuesday evening. Still coughing away a bit, but she is getting there. A good friend form the Embassy is here right now and holding her hand. It was very nice to see, since the same friend was here at a very early stage and was amazed with Jaana's progress. It is easy to ignore if you see here 4 times a days which I do. She is moving forward, but you have to step back a bit to see it rather than measuring every hour.

Hallo!
Vad skönt att höra att du mår bättre nu. Jag antar att alla krafter behövs för bästa möjliga återhämtning.
Jag kan meddela att besiktning gick bra och att vi snart har ett sommarställe på Öland. Nu återstår en del arbete innan det är tiptop.
Här hemma är det nu höst, de flesta löven har fallit, det är rätt grått och trist. Men det är inte så kallt men killarna har ändå varma jackor och stövlar nu. Man vet ju aldrig, det kan vara hyfsat varmt när de går till skolan och svinkallt när de ska gå hem.
Många tankar och kramar till er alla!

Jaana so pleased to hear you are beating the cold! Keep up the good work.
Jurgen you are doing a wonderful job as husband, father,carer, and Jaana's getting better co ordinator.
I am sure the biggest thing driving Jaana is getting back to her old self so she can tell you how much she loves you for everything you are doing for her and your family!
It is such a wonderful thing for you to invest your time in this blog. For most of us, we feel helpless but being able to read about Jaana's progress is a woderful thing. Most importantly being able to send her hello's and words of encouragement help us all in this ordeal.
You must remember to stop and take care of yourself through this time too.
Have a great day Jaana! Love Danielle
