Wij hopen dat u weet dat iedereen van onze vrienden naar de partij is uitgenodigd. We hope you know that all of our friends are invited to the party.

After a few difficult weeks, we wanted to let you know that we are doing well and celebrating life. Rob’s family is also doing well, and although everyone is sad, there is also hope in the future. Rob has been able to stand for a short amount of time unassisted. […]

Your spring suddenly broke, it is good so… My wife, our mother, mother-in-law and grandmother peacefully and calm, joined by us all, passed away in her 72nd life year. Her love, optimism and her perserverance will stay with us always. Eindhoven, 18 February 2010 Veldm. Montgomerylaan 147, 5612 BB Eindhoven […]

Het feest zaterdag, 20 februari is afgelast wegens familieomstandigheden. Tonny, de moeder van Robert is streng ziek. The party Saturday, 20 February is canceled because of family circumstances. Robert’s mother Tonny is severely ill.

Upon his request, Rob was released from Heliomare today. (Op zijn verzoek ontslagen Rob uit Heliomare vandaag). Rob says: It’s time to build new bridges, which are there to be crossed. Needless to say, we are both very excited to be home together and doing well.

First of all, we want to wish all of you a very happy new year! We can’t say how much all of your love and support has helped these last 6 months, but please know that they have. One of these days we will be writing you all personally, but […]

We had a wonderful time with Rob’s sister Anne and her husband Mick this weekend. Please see 2009 Sinterklaas Weekend on our photo website if you want to see more photo’s.

Rob has decided, with my full support, that another lap at Heliomare is the best solution. We were already happier in the last week with the amount of proactive rehabilitation he has been receiving, and were even happier today with the meetings we had about plans for action. The new […]

Rob is doing great. I haven’t posted, because we have been really busy on Rob’s rehabilitation plan. Rob is slowly but steadily regaining his strength. It’s amazing to see all his improvements by the day. I am shocked by his body’s ability to heal itself – mother-nature is truly amazing […]

The title of this blog is what Rob said would be a good title for the posting this week. I think being “clueless” is what happens after 23 weeks in a medical environment, but overall he is doing great, so no worries. As you can see, Rob is doing really […]

As of Thursday night, Rob is off the feeding tube — finally! He is very happy to be free of it, and we both think it will help him tremendously in moving forward. It all happened a bit unplanned. When he arrived home on Thursday night, while taking his jacket […]

Rob is out of quarantine (isolation) at Heliomare. Yipee!!! He is thrilled and eager to move forward with his full therapy now. Much of his therapy had been limited while in quarantine most of October, and he can finally do what he went there to do – rehabilitation. And … […]

We had a very happy Halloween weekend together. Rob was home again for a long weekend, and we had a wonderful time relaxing, eating some good meals and sitting by the fire. Rob was able to stand 3 times today! His progress is going well now that he has been […]

We had an unbelievable happy weekend. Rob was finally able to come home for a long weekend. To say that this was a special moment would be a huge understatement. It was absolutely fantastic! Everything was arranged rather quickly and we had a delay because Rob had a bad reaction […]

Waarschuwing: Alstublieft bezoek Rob nu niet. Hij is terug in quarantaine. Hij heeft nog steeds een probleem met een bacteriën. Hij wordt heel teleurgesteld. Het goed nieuws is dat zij zullen toestaan dat hem meer te drinken en te eten. Ik hoop dat zal maken die quarantaine gemakkelijker voor hem. […]

This is Thomas in 1995, same age as Rob in his scooter picture. Same make scooter!!! Found it in a charity shop in UK and bought it for Tom because it reminded me so much of Rob and his scooter!

I just talked to Rob on the telephone and he told me that he was able to stand today for a short amount of time. He needed to be assisted and hold on tight, but this is a very big step in his recovery. He has a lot of work […]

Rob is doing really well. He seems to have made it through this last infection with flying colours, although it was very unpleasant for him. We’ve had a good long weekend together, and he is really making big steps and making up for lost time. Tonight he was really moving […]
