Thinking about you both.

Love and hugs to Daff!

Evening Mr Daff,

Thank you so much for the update. Small steps do add up, and will soon be great strides. You must have been so pleased that Daff was able to enjoy some food.

Love to you all.

Small Steps today.....bigger steps tomorrow.Thanks `Mr Daff.Fingers crossed that cannula is in now.Love the Latin again lol

small steps but OMG what steps xx well done lass keep it up & before you know it R she'll be telling you off lol.

love to u & a gental strangle as always to daft xx

Small steps.....first 'solids' for a month today, a few sips of squash and a small tub of ice cream, with the promise of a cuppa to follow. Enjoyed! Still has a drip feed in place, but this means that there's 'space' in the throat which may help using the voice tube on the trachy. We'll see.
A new cannula had to be inserted today, and the doc's had not succeeded when I left, but it's the only way to get the anti-b's in, so hope all has gone 'well'.
About it for today.....very much "carpe dium-ish" really.

Rgds,
R.

Hi, will look on here in the morning as this old lady has a good book calling her so need to jump into bed, lol.
Daff, hope things are still going ok, still sending you love and hugs, xxxxx
Mr. Daff, hope your coping ok,
little kiss on the cheek for you x

Hoping today has been good for Daff and not so frustrating. (((((((hugs)))))))

Little Nudge !.Lets keep it near the top so Mr Daff can find us when he pops in.

Hope today has been better for Daff and not so frustrating. It'll take time.

Take care.

Another suggestion R as a short term measure. If you can get into Daff's craft bits and pieces she will have sheets of letters. She might be able to spell words out by pointing to the letters. tiring and time consuming but at least she will be able to communicate.

Or how about maki8ng her some flash cards with common words in like "Drink" "How are the cats?" "I am fed up!" etc etc.

oh R i cant imagine daff not being able to yak away,
it must be so frustrating for you both but it will come in time, xxx

bless her heart xx 1 small step forward & im sure lots to follow.

one off the places ive worked we use a letter board so the people can spell out the words...mite help till the voice comes bac fully??

love to u "R" & a gental strangle to our daft xxxxx

oh R,,what about some Fuzzy Felt letters ,couple of packs with boards should give enough letters for Daffy to have her say.

.some ending with ss even.}}


if her little people visit they will have great fun and Daff would really enjoy it I'm sure till shes more vocal again real soon.

TC xx to you all.

Morning Daffers and Mr D:o)

Hope you're having a better day today Daffers,also hope those physio's are'nt giving you too bad a time!!

Yehh brilliant....magnetic board and letters etc:o)

Take care both of you:o)

Good news that daff is now trying to communicate. Very frustrating for her though. It can be difficult to speak with a trachy, and even then difficult for some people to understand the speech. Good suggestions re writing, cant think of any better. Keep plenty of paper available for all Daffs questions! Hugs to you both.

How frustrating it must be not to be able to communicate properly.Poor Daff.It will come ,as will her strength.As for her doing sign language I can just imagine some of the signs she would do lolol
I hope today is less stressful for both of you xx

Thanks for the update Mr. Daff. Hope today will not be so frustrating for Daff but remember one thing - that ear bashing will come !!!

Love and hugs
Mary xx
