I felt totally lost this morning… I had no idea what today was or the date – its a bit scary I could not get my head around it. We have been here for 10 days now but it feels like weeks and weeks. Anyway its not really about me.

Geoff is a lot better today than he has been last few days and I think each day now he will get stronger and stronger. Yesterday was probably his toughest day yet. He said he no longer feels like he is choking and I guess we can all imagine what that would be like especially for days on end. He has also been in the one room for 7 days now, but he has small verandah he can sit on the catch the morning sun and a fab view as well.

He is managing to speak which is a great achievement 7 days post operation and the speech pathologist got him to do a swallow and although it took a long time and was painful in did to eat – so it looks promising that he could end up being able to eat and speak ….  so now it is the long wait (perhaps as long away as the end of next week) to see if they have been successful in removing it all.

Below is a beautiful message from our Great Nephew Teddy – Harry and Melissa’s young boy… just love his accent. Watch till the end.
