E aku rangatira o te motu
Otira ki a koutou nga whanau, hapu ranei o Tuwharetoa
tena ra koutou katoa!!

Let me bring you up to date with this morning's news.
I went in to see dad just before the doctor's rounds, he was sleeping and looked rather weary.
Anyway, Sandra is looking after dad for the day until changeover.

:-) no drugs
:-) just insulin
:-) still on milkshakes - cant take solids yet
:-) oxygen level down to 45%!! yesterday it was 60%
:-) vitals all looking much the same (blood pressure - normal for him, heart rate - looks good, respiratory 26)
:-) breathing without aid except for the breathing mask

All very good signs of progress!! But he still looks tired....

Apart from that: chloe and her bubba came up for a quick visit with her koro. The kids and i were down at the whanau house - they were cleaning up their mess before heading over to their cousin's place Ebony to stay the night!!

Cousin Hineauri and i went to the library where we signed her up for a gmail account, and gave her access to the BLOG!!

As we speak, Raniera and Rarangi are putting a hangi in the ground at Dad's place - BUT, dont go around there because they are bringing it up here to Hamilton!! Delwyn is making a steam pudding and Tereinamu is going to make us some trifle!!!! Then we are going to descend on Ebony's place!!

Mauri ora ki te whanau
Hauiti
