They did replace his trachy today at 3pm. I was a little late due to traffic, and arrived just as he came round. Suddenly, I have more hope – his colour is just so much better, and despite being a little dopey still, he was in good spirits. He sill needs to learn how to … [Read more…]
I went at the 3 o’clock visiting hour, and Colin had not yet gone for his trachy replacement. I could see that he was a little down, perhaps nervous about the replacement, but he was ok in general. He ate a yoghurt, but wanted something savoury. He says they are still not really letting him … [Read more…]
Haven’t seen him yest, but just wanted to say today I am grateful for Morgan, and Breakfast. This morning, at 7am, Morgan brought me a wonderful breakfast of scrambled eggs, mushrooms, bacon, and has browns. Thank you Morgan – I really appreciated that. It was very delicious, and just what I needed. Thank you my … [Read more…]
Some good news – I fed him a small pot of yoghurt, and he loved that. He also drank almost a whole juice, and seems to be fine with the food and drink, although they are still introducing it too slowly for his liking. Tomorrow will be 7 days since they installed his trachy and … [Read more…]
Today I finally managed to speak to a Doctor. Here is our good news for the day (and I haven’t even been to see him yet): They will fit the other trachy tomorrow and this will help him to start to learn to speak again. He is eating proper food (well, sort of sludgy stuff, … [Read more…]

Colin seems in much better spirits today, but he is also very tired. He asked me to just hold his hand. We have a fairly long and lovely time with me leaning my head on his arm while we held hands. I miss that. More than I would have ever thought possible. He was drifting … [Read more…]
It is day 10, and I find that I am starting to run out of steam. I am sleeping mostly OK, but my mind doesn’t stop for a second. Everyone is being so helpful and loving, sending limited communication – enough to let me know how loved we are, but not too much that it … [Read more…]
Today, Colin is still on the ventilator, but it is not on. It will kick in if he stops breathing, but they are weaning him off and he will be able to breathe without it very soon, I am sure. My Dad came today, and was able to correct me – he is at about … [Read more…]
Today I am grateful for sleeping, my bath, and wonderful, wonderful warm water. I am starting to feel how tired I am, but have been so uplifted by so many people. Yesterday morning I went to see my friends at the scrapping shop, and that was such an uplifting thing. I need to remember to … [Read more…]
