Yesterday evening's excitement has been a lot for Jim to accommodate. We need to be careful of trying to extract too much response from him too quickly, and the enthusiasm of five of us at once is a big load on his stressed brain. He was very tired at lunchtime despite resting well last night.
When we arrived for a second visit this evening he had been asleep for two hours and we left without waking him. The nurses say that it is likely he will lose the tracheo tube in the next day or so. Then he will be able to speak to us.
It is still too early for him to have visitors apart from close family. We hope that this will change in a few days.

ReplyDeleteDear Andy and precious ladies,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to discover your blogs from the
past week. I had the Dec 18 entry in my
browser and have been clicking "reload"
every day and becoming increasingly
alarmed at getting no later entry. Jim
would rightly regard me as illiterate in
the blogging sphere!
Truly amazing to read all the way up to
"Jim returns". It felt like sunshine
suddenly bursting through the clouds,
the way certain magic songs do. Go Jim!
Go left-handers!
Thanks so much for explaining so clearly
and faithfully Andy. All our love to
you from too far away,
Mike and ladies Prue, Tania, and Emily
Thankyou Andy for you daily updates on Jims progress. We are so thankful that he has turned this corner and eagerly anticipate when we can visit him
