4.01pm Saturday afternoon. Today is somewhat of a resting day, but I have somethings to report anyway. Jaana is making some progress with her speech. She does not realize it yet fully i think, but she is very capable of answering with rather clear 'yes' and 'no' instead of nodding or shaking her head. We made some exercises today and she said, 'ja', 'nej', 'hej', 'hello', 'apa' very clear. She successfully continues to communicate with me by raising her finger going through the alphabet. She has said numerous of sentences like this and burst out in tears of joy when she realize she managed to make herself understood. Life like this goes on slowly, but in a very peaceful and quite way. Barbados is excellent in this way that nothing is done in a hurry, and everything is allowed to take it's time, even Jaanas rehab.
I took the kids down to the beach for a swim. Now even Camille have started to enjoy herself in the ocean. The boys are half fish by now. When things settle a bit more and it is becoming off season down here, I will take a diving course with at least Ludde.

Hej Jaana & Jörgen!
Jag gläds med varje framsteg som du gör, Jaana och det låter mysigt med alla små lunchställen som Jörgen tar med dig till! Det låter också härligt med surfing och havet och jag förstår att barnen speciellt njuter av det. Vem skulle inte göra det?
Stor kram till er alla från
Anette & Lisa
Hey Jurgen! So glad you are all back together again. Jaana sounds like she is working hard and its great to hear of her progress. I am especially proud of her fine effort in downing a mars bar oreo cheesecake.......delish, I wish I could join her for an afternooon on a barbados beach with some of that cheesecake! Go Jaana! Please give Jaana a great big hello and hug from me and of course a big kiss and hug to Camille from Sienna and from Miss Drummond who will be so happy that Camille is going so well. x x x Jody
Hi Jaana & Jorgen,
It seems you are all in paradise...! It soounds peaceful and beautiful , a perfect place to rest and enjoy bits of a wonderful recovery time! I wish I could picture you all there, maybe Jorgen can figure out a way to post some photos for us? I miss you and wish you well.
Much Luv

Hej Jaana,
Det är kul att läsa att du gör framsteg även om det kan kännas tungt ibland. Själv har jag spenderat januari/februari på tjänsteresor dvs många helger försvann på arbetsrelaterade aktiviteter, men som sagt nu är man tillbaka till vanlig vardag.
Hoppas ni kommer att trivas på Barbados och det låter onekligen som ett trevligt ställe att vara på i jämförelse med det gråa filttäcket som legat över Sverige ett längre tag nu. Många kramar önskar Christina med familj
