Went to Baldock last night (incidentally, stonkin' show by Isambarde). Alan reported that there is little change with Paul, but what there is, is in the right direction. The amount of sedation he is under is gradually being reduced and this is allowing Paul's blood pressure and other vital signs slowly to normalise. This can only be done gradually though, in line with the healing process. So there's still a way to go, and there's no certainty yet, but the signs are encouraging for an eventual full recovery.

I've given hard copy of all the messages (on this thread and pm'd to me) to Alan to pass on to Frankie in case she's not had opportunity to look here. Frankie is of course visiting Paul every day, but I'm not pushing for any response to requests for direct contact. Now that Frankie has all the messages I'll leave it to her to decide whether, and then when, she thinks that is appropriate or desirable.

Keep the healing thoughts flowing though.
