43 Tables. Around 200 people. Some sitting in the corridor because the hall was full. I am waiting for eye witness reports, but from what we have heard so far, it must have been an amazing table quiz night yesterday! Thank you for those who organized it and to those who attended it.

DON’T forget the upcoming concert in Pádraig’s secondary school, Colaiste Eoin with some of the coolest Irish Music bands around.

Everything was ideal. Though we should know by now that ‘ideal’ doesn’t exist.

We went for coffee, and when we came back Pádraig was on a ventilator. His oxygen level had gone down from nearly 100% to 88, for no apparent reason. What followed was the routine procedure to make sure he had neither another pneumothorax, nor an embolism: ECG and x-ray. On his left leg, there is not a plaster showing where they are measuring the circumference of his leg with the thrombosis.

Two of Pádraig’s friends were there today and spent time with him remembering what it all was like. It’s great to hear young voices, the sound of things to come.

No German music, no German words, no hot/cold stuff tonight. I am giving in an go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day.
