Hugs

[Positive vibes]

A big hug to all, especially Denise, I was only joking & being a bit flippant.... no wonder you are struggling a little - it will get better as you settle in. Take care of yourselves xxx

I left Portugal without a nail file. I'm missing all kinds of bits and pieces.

The great thing is... nail files are widely available 😂😂 If all else fails, I'll post you some 😍😍😘

Morning everyone. I know I go on internet and I look at all the things I need. Simple things. So many bits. Some coming tomorrow ☺️ it's realising what is missing when I go to use it.

Set up for Stephens feed different so a lot of faffing about connecting things up. Left a roll of tape and other things in Portugal. Currently has peg pipework attached to his t-shirt with a peg.

Going to pop into small local chemist to get some bits.

No pneumonia jab for Stephen yesterday. One left but someone higher on the at risk list will get it. I was rather annoyed. Looks like he won't get it until annual flu jab. I thought pneumonia was a worry because of the after effects of choking? Not an annual threat like flu?

Chest clinic today. No idea what happened to our promise of transportation to the hospital. 😟

You really truly need a big hug 🤗😘👍😍xxx

The pneumonia jab is effective against community acquired bacterial pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia is different, that's pneumonia caused by inhaling something into the lungs which should not be inhaled, so no vaccine will protect against that unfortunately. xx

oh well might have know there would be more than one. always the way. so we all take our masks off and germs will have a field day. did any one go with not wearing a mask and getting a bit of paper to say they had exemption? xxx

[matthew55]

I can't wear one and so far no one has challenged me, even in hospital. 🤔🧐xx

[Ellie]

Me neither, even got jabbed maskless. I cannot breathe with a mask on, can barely breathe without one 😏😁😁

[denise]

Everyone had masks on at derriford hospital. Its decided that Stephens breathing is good. All his tests are good. He's happy without his niv so he's not having one. Going to do 2 nights with a thing on his finger and back in 2 months. 😁

[Ellie]

That's really great news for Stephen. xx
