7th of October

9.40am Sunday morning. I have just returned from the hospital spending the night. She woke up for a few hours late last evening got some fluid, but it is not enough. She only consumed around 600ml yesterday. Today she woke up around 7.30am and I immediately started feeding her. So today she has already gotten around 350ml, so hopefully a bit better. It is a restful Sunday today and she will be able to get some energy for next week. I will go back later tonight and will report more as the day goes by.

7.28pm Sunday evening. Today there was no special therapy and she has been resting. Food and drink wise, she picked up a bit in the afternoon so right now she was drunk around 850ml and has still not had dinner. So with a bit of luck, this will happen within an hour or so and then push it to around 1000ml. This should make the doctors some what happy, but they are a bit picky about that (understandably). Right now, Jaana is sleeping and has done so since 4.15pm. Not much to report really, more than things are progressing slowly. Speech wise, it is quite some bit to go. Her balance is getting better but she still is quite weak. I have to say though, she is tough and has started therapy earlier and with more willingness than most people (all according to the doctors).

Hi Jaana,
I was thinking of the last time we ran into each other. It was outside of Ben and Jerrys icecream parlor. I was with Mark and you with Jurgen. I took a rug to be repaired today at Dempsy and thought about this. The children begged me to stop at Ben and Jerrys. The were sms'ing me from their phones. So of course we had to stop. I was wondering what your favourite flavor was??? Mine is coffee, coffee, buzz, buzz. The children tease me because I love coffee. Please continue to eat and drink well. I look forward to meeting you for a celebration ice cream at Ben and Jerrys!
love, Blair

Hej Jaana och Jugge,

Det kändes skönt att få höra av Peter hur han kramade dig Jaana när han var hos dig i fredags för den kramen var ju även ifrån mig. På så sätt kom jag dig lite närmare. Och han sa att du kramade honom hårt tillbaka.
Sen blev jag jätteglad att höra att Jannice ska komma till er några dagar nästa vecka. Det känns bra.
Ni kämpar på jättebra, fortsätt så!
Ni finns i mina tankar.
Många kramar
Cecilia m. familj
