First of all I would like to apologize, as we don’t write in Help Sergio since March. We have been quite busy and day by other we couldn’t find the moment to write. First to say is that Sergio was with the rotavirus in the hospital and he got another virus while he was there, he was in the hospital that time for one month. Then he came home and after a few weeks he had to return to the hospital because he got the same virus. This time he was in the hospital for less than 2 weeks.

Sergio durmio 12 horas seguidas la pasada noche. Todo el ajetreo de paseos y jugar sobre la...

He has had six bedside dilatations of his esophagus since last Thursday. Obviously they are quite painful procedures but Sergio seems to be able cope with them better now. His peg site looks very sensitive and the nurses are keeping a close eye on it. The good news is that the cuff in his trach has been taken down so Sergio can once again hear his own voice which just cheers him up so much. Since the...
