17th July

Sorry I missed yesterday it was a very busy day. Geoff did really well yesterday all Drs come in and did the big check over. They had a look at this throat by way of the camera down the nose and said they can not see much because of the swelling but everything is as they would expect.

The days are very long for him as everything is such an effort with the biggest part of his day is the shower which we all know he loves so much and has always called it therapy. He can only shower from chest down but that is enough to make him feel better. I try and be there for every shower so I can give him a moisturise and a bit of a massage.

Yesterday they changed the trachea to a smaller one which was a great move forward but unfortunately he is not breathing as easily. They think the trachea tube is not lining up with his airway. The will again but the camera down and see if they can see why it is happening and may have to go back to the bigger one. His feeding tube is working well and so much smaller than the one he had 10 years ago which was a garden hose – no exaggeration.

My sisters have been her with me since the operation day but alas had to go back home to there own busy life’s yesterday.

I have set up a little make shift office in Geoff’s room where I can still operate the business. The room is bright and sunny with the best view and Geoff is sitting reading while I type this.

Feel very blessed that he is in the Lifehouse everyone is wonderful, the facilities are great and we know he would not get better care or access to any better doctors anywhere else.

He is not up to a lot of visitors as yet but I will let you know when he gives me the thumbs up.
