I have started the ball rolling for our trip to Australia to get specialists help for Steve if required. Our application for Australian visas have been approved so we are now free to book our flights there. We have been prepping the boat and instructing and organising Sam so that we can leave the boat safe, secure and easy to look after in his care.
Understandably Steve is very anxious about his situation and overwhelmed by the thought of leaving the boat, leaving Sam, traveling and expenses. I have held off confirming our flight until I get advice from three GP friends who have been given all of Steve’s symptoms and results from his medical examination here. If they recommend a specialist with MRI/CT scan we’re ready to go. We will be staying with my cousin in Melbourne who has already been in contact with her GP and a medical friend about Steve.
Thank you to all who have offered help or given Steve words of encouragements. He really needs it and it has certainly helped.
Sam and I are fine and coping well. Just worried about Steve.
Hi Helen, Keep positive and just be there which is what you are doing. I know it is hard work and there are times that you will question why these things are happening but until you know what you are dealing with you cannot do more than you are doing. Take care and thinking of you all. Erin x
Our best wishes, thoughts and prayers are with you both. We too have had health crises emerge in far flung places and have managed to deal with them successfully in the past so we’re confident you will find a speedy solution to Steve’s vision problem. Good luck and safe travels. Love and hugs XXX
HI Helen,
Have been working long hours recently so have not been on the computer. However James came home from Uni today and said he wanted to go to Australia if he didn’t get a job and I told him to look at your blog. Imagine the shock when I read about Steve.Sorry I did not contact u before but I really had no idea. Sounds like worrying times but keep positive. Sounds like u are getting things in place and I am keeping everything crossed that things are ok. Life is a rollercoaster sometimes. Lots of love to Steve from all of us. Take care. Wish there was more I could do than encourage you.
Look after each other. Lots of love and hugs. Geraldine, Hayley and James
only just caught up on a fortnight of AD Blog … hang in there uncle (and aunty!) … it’s just another part of the adventure … thinking of you … needless to say: anything we can do from here, let us know xxx
