This from Roy Kettle via Malcolm Edwards:
Today Sarah sounded in good spirits and said that the positive news is
that Rob remained stable overnight. He is in an isolation unit because
the medical team was concerned he might have swine flu but, though that
has been ruled out, he remains in the unit. Sarah's pleased about this
because it means he is having the best possible treatment that the
hospital can provide. She is increasingly impressed by the care,
dedication and hard work of the NHS team - mentioning particularly the
overnight nurse and, again, Professor Hugh Montgomery who leads the
team. Sarah said that Professor Montgomery has had a couple of books
published, of which this is one *

epic poems for children that sound right up Rob's street.
Sarah hopes to be able to pass on further news this evening. She is
very grateful for, and extremely touched by, all the good wishes and
messages that she and Rob have received. I'm passing on all those I get
but she also manages to look at emails and cards/letters that arrive at
home though obviously hasn't yet got enough time away from the hospital
to be able to reply personally.
All our love and hopes continue for Rob.
Best wishes
Roy
