Friday 12th Sassy Update slightly sedated and intubated. brain drain fluids clear. Swelling of throat and neck subsiding but not enough to allow removal of tubes. Maybe tomorrow. Scan today showed no obvious concerns. Despite sedation responded to visits with occasional squeezing of hands, frowns and flickering of eyelids. Gave her a talk through our week and played the alphabet game between us.....I'll explain that sometime for those of you not familiar with it...she frowned at some of my more bullshit connections. My youngest son Dom sang her a few gentle songs and rapped his latest poem. We treat her as though she was wide awake. Sams first album due from production company tomorrow. Was meant to be officially launched at my birthday do on monday but what the hell......will post a link to his facebook site when I remember it but if anyone wants to see his broadcasts from his kitchen the if you go to facebook and search samplays acoustapunk, you'll find him. Not exactly folk but you'll hear folkie influences. can't sleep at present and have jaw ache from grinding them teeth. Later will post a little biog of Polly...for information and more than a little giggle........sing on please.

Frank, Sam, Dom xx
