5.07pm Monday afternoon. First post from Treetops. The transition went better than good! Jaana was fantastic when moving over. Me and friend of ours took each one of her arms around our necks and then she walked in the stairs going down. She made it 75% down and then we put her in the wheelchair for the last bit. It was very good. She noticed she was able to do it, and it boosted her moral a bit i think I will try to redo this on flat ground. She put one foot in front of the other (balance a bit off) and held most of her own weight. Right now she is her bed waiting for the speech therapist to come around. She is in a very good mood right now. She realize everything is happening and we are on the move; while she has the time to relax and get better. I am very positive of her attitude right now. Way to go Jaana!
7.13pm Monday evening. Just one last entry to say that Jaana is very much active in her training right now. When ever she is awake she is lifting her leg, moving her foot and such. Her arms she does not really enjoy moving all that much yet, but it will come around soon. the speech therapist was her and did some mouth massage and trying to exercise the stomach muscles to be able to get more air in her lungs. This is imperative, since she right now only have around 300-500 ml when breething out. One would need around 1250ml or so to be able to make good sound, I have been told.

Hej alla!
Fortsätt öva flitigt, Jaana! Och skräm bort alla bakterier och virus! (Det har jag själv inte lyckats med, är hemma från jobbet idag, sover, nyser, snyter.... En simpel förkylning men jobbig likafullt!)
På fredag åker Christer och jag till (mamma) Jane för att fira hennes 85-årsdag. Hon vill inte ha något spektakel, så det blir väldigt lugnt. Hoppas min förkylning har lugnat ned sig till dess.
Här är synnerligen grått; idag har det aldrig lyckats bli fullt dagsljus. När vi vaknade igår, var det lite snö på marken, men den töade bort på några timmar; sedan var det lika gråruggigt igen. Kanske tomten kommer med flera vita flingor.
Hos er är klimatet ett helt annat, förstår jag. Dunjackor överflödiga!
Ha det så bra ni bara kan!
Förkylda kramar (smittar inte den här elektroniska vägen!) från

Hej Jaana,
Vad glad jag blir när jag läser att du gjort sådana framsteg! Det måste kännas härligt! Fortsätt kämpa!
Här hemma rusar tiden iväg. Snart jul. Ingen direkt julkänsla i ett & regnigt Stockholm. Man får helt enkelt dra ner gardinerna och tända ljus och låtsas att det är bättre väder...
Snart fyller pappa jämt. Om 1½ vecka. Vi ska åka till Vildmarkshotellet med hela familjen för att fira honom. Det ska bli jättetrevligt!
Ta hand om dig!
Kram
FANTASTIC NEWS! WELL DONE JAANA!!! Keep up the hard work. So happy to hear all went well with the move and you were able to walk some. So so happy you are over the virus and heading in the right direction! Danielle
