Tracheotomy Removed Today

Lis has just posted on Facebook the good news that Roger has had the tube removed today and can speak at last.
"At last something positive has happened: Roger's trachy has been removed from his throat and he is able to speak. His speech sounds a bit slurred but I'm sure that will improve. He certainly seemed more like his normal self today, worrying if Tim had taken out insurance on his new mobile gadget. 
Fatigue after physio is still a problem but we knew it would be a long old haul. This is a roller coaster ride but at least it was on a high today, especially as Tim and Amandine were there to share the joy of hearing him speak again."

Also Lis added some news that Roger's brother is raising money for Headway a brain injury charity.

"Oh, I forgot to say that Roger's brother, John, is raising money for Headway, the brain injuries association, in this month of "Movember". He is growing a moustache and a beard. There is a link below, if you would like to support him. Many thanks to John."

This was from his brother John
"For friends of Roger please go to www.justgiving.com/johnlapthorn and the mystery will be solved. Thankyou."

Lets hope the recovery continues.
