Get well soon Darryl and Kathy Well wishes for Darryl and Kathy Nicke

20/06/2022

Gday Everyone! Much Agape & Philia (and Storge...) to you ALL!🥰
The many prayers and well-wishes were so beautiful and so overwhelming that I just HAD to try - hard!
I've been recovering at home for the last couple weeks, and felt good enough to go out (other than to doctors) - Kathy & I saw Top Gun - great movie (if you liked the 1st one).
We're still concerned a bit about my legs, persistent swelling and blisters (only on burn-areas...weird...). I'm going to hospital to see my dermatologist again tomorrow, we'll see what they say.
Everything else is great!
So happy to be up/about and able to respond here (with my own fingers...lol)
My God was with me - He received SO MANY prayers that He just couldn't ignore, SO may He had to respond to/for you all, and: He most certainly did!!
THANK YOU! for all your love and support. It really did keep me moving forward...still is...
MUCH Love (Agape, Philia) to you all!!
May God bless and support each one of us in these difficult days...
- Darryl

Hey everyone! So we have some of the best news….
Dad has come home from hospital today! 🎉🎉🎉
He has worked so hard, doing his physio therapy, and he’s been allowed to go home. So, I’m sure he’d like to see some visitors if you’re in the area

Hey everyone,
Sorry it’s been so quiet in the updates front. This has been a case of “no news is good news”.
Dad has been doing really well. Mum gets up to see him pretty much every day. He gets up out of bed a lot, but hasn’t been walking. So this is the next step. He is on the verge of being transferred to the rehab ward, where they’ll work on him walking, and getting ready to go home! Yay!
It’s been a long and quite bumpy road, but it looks like it’s getting closer to the goal! Wooo! 👏👏👏
I’ll let everyone know when he gets moved, but for now, thank you everyone for all of your positive words and prayers! They’ve been so appreciated and obviously someone heard all the prayers.
Please feel free to still send through any emails to dad at getwellsoondarryl@gmail.com
❤️❤️

Dad is doing well at John Hunter.
Mom has been able to see him, as she’s doing much better too.
They’re very happy that dads kidneys are working very well. They’re working so well, they’ve removed his dialysis port. Woo hoo!
HIs skin is looking pretty good. They’re running some tests, as he has a slight infection, but nothing too serious.

Dad is being transferred to John Hunter this morning. He’s excited to be closer to his near and dear, and having more visitors

Dad is feeling great. Alert and ready to go to John Hunter…. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday, depending on when a bed is ready for him. He says hello, and thanks everyone for their messages.

I have some great news to share regarding both dad and mom. They’re both doing so much better.

We will start with mum. She is feeling so much better. The eye specialist was not worried when he saw her, that her eye would be impacted much. And he gave her the antiviral meds that can help with shingles. Her face is much less swollen and way less painful. She said it was so swollen the skin was painfully taut. She still isn’t 100%, but is mostly there. She said the eye swells when she’s laying for long periods, so overnight, but drains away again when she’s up for a while. She’s stopped scaring small children with her face! 😂

Dad has officially been transferred out of the ICU! Yay! So he is just in the standard ward of Royal North Shore Hospital now. They said probably another week or two before he’s moved back to John Hunter Hospital, closer to home. This is for the best continuity of care. They said rather than others having to try to get up to speed on dads cares, they’ll keep him a little longer, until he’s less complicated needs wise. So hopefully won’t be too long.
He has had a permacath inserted for the intermittent dialysis. Despite the name, it’s usually used in the mid-term… usually 1-6 months for dialysis. Dad is sounding really good. And enjoying the emails, calls and messages passed along.
So please continue to send them. All of the family appreciate the love being shown and sent.

When I talked to dad just before, I interrupted his and moms call. lol like a couple of twitterpated teens, always on the phone “no you hang up first!” 😂
Anyways, as you can see, the news is going in the right direction, and let’s all keep praying it stays this way!

Hi everyone,
I’d like to post an update on my parents.

When dads health deteriorated on Saturday, mom was so stressed out that she has developed shingles on her head and the left side of her face-including her eye.

Dad is doing much better! But mom is recovering slowly.

Good morning everyone.

Please feel free to send dad an email at
getwellsoondarryl@gmail.com

Send something to brighten dads long boring days. At this stage, they’ll be read out to him. But once he has better use of his hands, he can read these him self.
It can be a favourite story or memory you have with him. He really does appreciate everyone’s words of love and support. We pass them all on. But please send him an email too 😊

Have a great day, and we will keep you all posted on his progress.

Hey everyone, so here’s some great news. So good dads giving the thumbs up! His kidneys are working well again. The renal specialist is happy to take him off dialysis. He’s still on the vent, but will be off it tomorrow. As you can see, it’s a thumbs up! His hands are looking so much better, and he’s healing so well!

22/04/2022

Just a quick update…
Dad has gone downhill again.
His kidneys have completely shut down. They’re putting in lines to do dialysis.
And if that’s not enough, he’s also got fluid on his lungs, so they’re putting him on a ventilator. Which means they have to put him in to a medically induced coma. This will be for the next 48 hours, at least.
Any love and prayers for both dad and mum at this stage are appreciated. ❤️
