I saw both Ray and Colin today, Weds 20th. Ray is brighter, and I think has put on a tiny amount of weight. She was bantering with staff, which is a good sign.

The doctors are talking of allowing her home, permanently, around the end of next week. This is immensely good news for both of them (although it depends on her condition then, obviously).

I told them that I needed to place an update for you all - please keep thinking of her, they both appreciate it that friends round the world keep sending good wishes.

I'll try and update more regularly, I struck a busy patch last couple of weeks, sorry.
