SPIROS KOTSIALOS

Hi all – no visitors tonight. 

Today the surgeon had a look down Spiros’ throat to check on progress. The good news is the throat is healing well, however the process of putting a strobe down his throat was very painfull and Spiros can’t talk again until his throat has rested a bit. There is still...

Spiros is doing a little better – but no visitors this morning as he had some specialist appointments.  Will provide an update tonight. Thanks. 

Not a lot has changed overnight – still a lot of swelling and speaking is difficult. Main priority for Spiros today is to try get some sleep, which continues to be difficult. He is still not up for visitors today, but is pretty sure he will be tomorrow. He does look better on the outside...
