Tonotono!!

E nga uri whakaheke o Tuwharetoa
tena ra koutou katoa

Well, Dad had his first day/night in the ward - and already he is ordering us around!!

Anyway, it is good to finally have him in the ward where we can be a constant presence. So, Rarangi is here and spent the night with dad. Tereinamu managed to get dad to start eating & drinking and Rarangi took over from her.

We have a journal to monitor his progress (liquid intake, medication, food intake, turn-overs, routines, urine output, blood pressure, physio and so on) and to keep a record of what the doctors are doing to him - so far so good. He needs alot of sleep, he needs food to get his strength levels up, and he will need physio to prepare him for physical activity


That was last night
He looks like he had a good sleep! He was a new man after they gave him a shower!!

Today he had a constant stream of visitors: Rawea, Misty & Baby, Josh/Ranui & Baby and our cousin Hineauri

Rarangi will be bedside over the coming week - he will be sleeping bedside to help with dad's recovery. His NEW cell is: 02102395596 (as soon as i give him the SIM)

Tereinamu headed home for Dunedin this morning

Heoi ano
