28th of March, 2010

4.53pm Sunday afternoon. Jaana is doing very well at rehab now. She is very willing and much more able to participate and with that, comes better result. The stem cell treatment definitely has had a positive effect. We are very much considering doing the larger treatment option during the summer to see even more profound effects. Anyway, all is well, but after over two and a half year of care taking both Parmi and me (specially Parmi) is having a few aches. Even though Jaana has lot a lot of weight, her lack of balance when she walks has to be compensated for by the one assisting her. Even though Jaanas balance is improving, this is obviously a heavy work load. We have another lady, Nancy, who helps out full time so that ease things up a bit.
The kids are off school now for two weeks so that is fun. We shall be resting here in Barbados and try to do a lot of sports etc.
At the end of April, I will do a trip to Europe of a week, and a wife of a good friend down here will stay with Parmi and the kids during my absence, even though this is a long way from now.
It has been very dry down here lately. The grass is all brown and there a fires raging all over the island. Yesterday we got a first 30min of rain in over 6 weeks, so this was very welcome.

Vad bra att det verkar haft positiv effekt. Hoppas det fortsätter i den riktningen.
Vi är i Tokyo nu på semester en vecka. Jättekul att vara tillbaka.
Hoppas ni också får en bra ledighet.
