Hi, All, thank-you for your good thoughts and queries. DH is still in hospital, and the surgeons advice is that at the moment, we take things half a day at a time.

He needed further surgery to seal a non-healed and leaking area following last weeks operation, and now we are waiting for his body to heal, specifically for the bowel wound to seal....please keep him in your prayers. His body has been through a lot; and recovery is slow. He is in good care and is mentally strong, but this will take time and as you can imagine it's very stressful.

My mother in law is on her way from Australia, which will be a big help, and friends and colleagues here have been incredibly supportive and kind. So thanks, as always, for your good thoughts. I'll continue to pop in when I need a boost :).

Love, Lynne xoxo
