Redjeb had his surgery today where they took out the ventilator oral tube and did a trach. They say he did well. He still has to have assisted breathing. I have been told this is temporary until his lungs heal. Poor guy. But they say he will be more comfortable now. Let us hope so. He was sleeping today after the surgery.
My brother left today, and my niece Sarai arrived this eve. She will stay a few days. Her brother Tom came by for an evening last week. Will may turn up next week. So my family has been trying to keep me going. I think word must have gotten out to keep an eye on Aunt Peggy, which is also a way to help Redjeb, whom they all love.
Hopefully in the not too distant future he'll be able to see his friends. But now on the Intensive Care Unit they are very strict, and he couldn't talk to you anyway just yet.
Not much more to say. Still buried in paper, paying bills, friends helping me keep track of mail that arrives in both East Hampton and NYC. Modern life is complex.
Thanks for all your good wishes. Sorry most of you can't figure out how to post comments. Doesn't say much for Google does it. Now that they own this blog site, they can't even make a user friendly blog.
Have a good night. I am going to hit the sack.
ReplyDeleteLenny and I are very happy that Redjeb is making steady progress. The funny thing about his being "amazing for his age" is that when Redjeb was hauling in the sails and leaping onto the deck a few weeks ago, he was pretty amazing for any age. Tell that to his doctors!
Peggy, your friends are all with you - even those who can't find their way round the blog system.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what a profile is and not sure if I saw your earlier posts cause if I missed them I wouldn't know??II But thanks.
ReplyDeleteExcellent news for Redjeb and we're glad to hear of an attentive family presence for you.
ReplyDeleteWe're heading back home next week and can help with any Paris area problems that you may have.
bisous,

Hi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update--My granddaughter helped me get on the bog.
Glad the trach went well-maybe he will get better faster now.
It's good to keep in touch. Kay
