1st of December

7.12am Saturday morning. Not much to write about this early in the morning for this day, but yesterday evening her brother came to town. It will be fun for her when they both wake up to meet again; second time since she turned sick.
It is getting busier here around the house. Last month in Singapore has started. On the 10th of December the movers come in to start packing. At that time we will all move to a hotel/serviced apartment, so this blog might be a bit delayed then for a day or so.

30th of November

7.40am Friday morning. Not much to report this early in the morning other than the night was quite and that the physio/speech is coming later this afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, she also sat outside the house for a short while (it is a bit warm and humid) just to get some 'fresh' air. As they have started the Christmas lighting on Orchard Road here in Singapore, the doctor thought it would be nice to take her for a ride in the car to see it all. Planing for this during the weekend, should she so desire.

29th of November

8.01am Thursday morning. Yesterday she put in a lot of effort in all rehabilitation sessions. In the evening she was a bit tired, slept well last night and today there is a bit less going on. Blood tests made on Tuesday, confirmed current dosage of medication. The dietitian will put forward a menu for her which will improve her intake of probiotics, vitamins, energy and all other good stuff in the least amount of food quantity. Nothing much else to report, than small recovery steps.
4.40pm Thursday afternoon. Today one of the doctors who has been seeing Jaana from the start came by for a home visit. He gladly acknowledged her recent progress and confirmed to her that she will walk again, if she keeps up all the exercises. Jaana has been in a good mood all day and some of her friends from the embassy came by to celebrate a birthday with her.

28th of November

8.05am Wednesday morning. Jaana had a good night sleep and is doing fine. A dietician is coming around today to talk about Jaanas intake needs and what we can do to increase her energy etc. In the afternoon, John the physiotherapist, is doing his magic and we all hope we get some of that 0.5% progress we aim for. more later

27th of November

3.39pm Tuesday afternoon. Today Jaana is in a great mood. She was smiling a lot when I came back from the dentist, having three wisdom teeth removed, and my speech in a worse shape than she did. We laught together and when the speech therapist came, we both joined in. Anyway, no fever, good mood and tomorrow the physio guy is back again, whome for which I have a lot of respect. Last time around, Jaana stood up (again with support, don't get me wrong) for over 20 minutes. She is ready to test the walking frame again.
I took the final decision not to send Jaana to Humlegarden in December. This was done considering her own wishes (indicated through her foot) and what I think is appropriate at the current stage for her. Right now, she needs a lot of one-to-one attention getting enough fluid/energy intake. At this stage she is still very much scheduled to go there in January. However though, everything in life is changing everyday, but one has to have plans anyway, and this is the one in focus right now.
To friends living in Singapore, it should be noted that we leave Singapore on the 20th of December. We will obviously want to see as much as possible of all of you, but main priority has to be on Jaana's recovery. Hence, I will from time to time, reject requests of visits. This is naturally not done ill willingly, but rather in consideration for my dear wife. So please continue to call me if you want to visit her, but don't get disappointed if you have to reschedule. I know you all understand that and concure with my thoughts.

26th of November

9.43am Monday morning. In a bit better spirit today. She drank a bit for breakfast and ate some scramble eggs. Her food intake as of late has not been to massive so it is good to get that up some what. She is now being given a bath by the nurse, and will soon start to have lunch. As feeding her takes a massive amount of time, one has to start rather early. Jaana also gets vitamin and probiotics supplements as well as her normal medicine. I hate to pile it on, but I would not be surprised if she contracted a common cold as well as she is for the most part not moving. As much as you want to turn the air condition off, it is not possible in Singapore for a long period of time, if you do not have a good breeze.
Later today, I will get results from my mycoplasma test. Should I have the same, all the children will (only Camille today) get the same antibiotics. We don't want Jaana to get it again when she had gotten rid of it.

25th of November

6.23pm Sunday afternoon. Today Jaana had a bit of fever again in the morning, and was a bit sad. I take this as a sign that she is alert and aware and thus get a bit down when she thinks about her situation. What I try to tell her is that we all think of her and that if she just get a fraction of a percent better each day, she will be fantastic in a year or so. She realize this (answer with her foot), but of course she also realize it will not be an easy journey and then get some tears in her eyes. All in all, she is holding up quite good and is doing much better than I would.
