Appreciating The Small Things
byI’m not convinced my Mother-In-Law will be talking to me tomorrow.

Rooky Mistake
byWithout Tracey’s guidance I’ve already reverted to making roomy mistakes parenting the kids….
It’s a Sign!
byThere’s still a few turns of the dance floor in Tracey’s ICU Cha Cha, but the main thing is she’s still on her feet.
Speechless
byI keep talking to Tracey as she lies sprawled out on her ICU bed and she, poor poppet, still has a tube in her mouth so she’s unable to communicate outside of nodding, shaking her head, eye rolling and wiggling her cute little eyebrows.
The Gutless Wonder
byThe same surgeon who earlier in the week had to deliver us the news that given what he was seeing in her stomach he didn’t think Tracey was going to make it called us in for another meeting today. We love this man.
Light The Way Home
byI’m too scared to be optimistic. That hasn’t really worked for me so far.
This Is It
byGiven all that’s been happening recently, I’ve had some exceptionally bad days. But nothing like this.
This Can’t Be Happening
byI wish I had better news.
Some Comic Relief
byThere will be some news on Tracey tomorrow after tonight’s procedure. Meanwhile, I’d hate for anyone to think when shit is going down I can’t still stuff up in a totally embarrassing manner….
Could This Be A Turning Point?
byI know it seems like I’m celebrating victory at half time but I also don’t care because there’s been so little to get excited about lately and I think the whole family needs this.
Now We Hope And Wait And Trust
byI went home for a flying visit last night to see the kids. They needed me to be there for a few hours to put their minds at ease, but the truth is I probably needed it more.
Doing The ICU Cha Cha
byLast night I posted on Facebook what I thought was some game changing news. Tracey’s been fighting a mild temperature all week and I thought they’d found the cause. I’m afraid it’s not that simple…
No News IS Good News
byThere is really nothing to report since the last post, but I’ve been getting so many concerned enquiries I figured I better let people know that.
Stable Is My New Favourite Word
byToday was going to be when they brought Tracey out of her induced ‘slumber’ and back to reality. It wasn’t.
An Update On Tracey
byThe word the nursing staff keep brandishing about regarding Tracey’s recovery is ‘remarkable’ and I don’t think they’re exaggerating.
