7th of June

7.25am Saturday morning. Jaana and I returned safely home to Barbados last Thursday. She was very happy to be home again and to see the children. That was the most difficult part of the trip; for both of us to leave the kids for a few days. Now all is good again and she is recuperating from the trip. There is one little soar which needs to heal a bit more, which will limit some poart of the physio therapy for a week or so. Since we know now that there is no real physical issue making up her speech problems, we can push a bit harder and demand that she answers more with words. This should eventually strengthen her vocal cord muscles. The other issue is also to have her initiate more things herself. This will take a very long time and is quite hard to practice, since she is the one who needs to initiate the exercise. I guess for this we need to be very patient and just hope that this will heal over time.
Kids are fine. Ludde had his birthday and missed us not being there in the morning, but was happy we got back the same day at least. Camille had heaps of fun and enjoyed very much the time with my friend who stayed here while we were gone. Today is surfing day for Jonathan and he has saved money for a surfboard which he is very excited about.
