I love it when the ICU staff are relaxed on the weekends – they let me stay a little longer, and today they also let me in early. I got to Colin at 2:15 but they were just busy with him, so I waited a bit and got to see him from 2:30 until 6:45 … [Read more…]
Today was a better day. Colin is feeling a little better, and he ate half of his lunch, plus a little pot of fruit I took for him. He also had a small drink of water. We did his arm physio, and I rubbed his feet and legs, but he didn’t feel well enough to … [Read more…]
Colin is not well at all, and is still feeling very nauseous and extra sensitive. He is finding it difficult to talk, and is hot and cold and clammy, and there is nothing I can do to ease his pain. He is still not eating – has had nothing at all today, didn’t want the … [Read more…]
This morning I woke up later than I meant to. Last night I sat in the bath and sobbed and sobbed. I was so scared and all I could think was that this was not going to have a happy ending. I went to sleep with a sleeping pill, and of course, I didn’t hear … [Read more…]
I have just got back from the Fourways Life hospital where Colin is in the ICU again. He got there around maybe 2:15pm, and I was only able to see him after 5 or so. He is in terrible pain, and is back on the filter on the trachy which means he can’t really talk. … [Read more…]

He has felt progressively worse, and I didn’t go see him yesterday because I just needed a day … [Read more…]
I have spent the whole day doing admin, and didn’t see Colin. I will see him again tomorrow, and can’t wait. I miss him, and I know he misses me. I am really worried – he had a bladder infection yesterday, and his temp was elevated. Please spare a thought for him. Today I am … [Read more…]
Here is a pic from yesterday’s jaunt into the garden.
We went to see Colin a little late this morning – we all woke up late. He was just getting into his chair, so we went outside, and then into the garden. He loves to go outside, and once he is in his chair, he can almost go anywhere he wants. Yesterday, one of the … [Read more…]
Colin is doing well. He can clench his right bum cheek. I am so tired I am weepy. All is well, but I am going to go to sleep now. Today I am grateful for a warm bed and a kitty to cuddle while Colin is not here.
