Hi everyone - I wanted to update you with the latest statement from Adele and Andrew that we had through earlier. Good news I feel and definately a step in the right direction.

Thursday 24th June

We have some good news today.

First I would like to tell you about Adam’s doctor, Mr Karongkorn. He is a lovely and helpful man. His English is excellent, he smiles kindly and he always has time to talk to us and to explain. We feel that we have absolute trust in him, in his abilities and the work that he is doing. He explains things in detail in a non technical way and is totally honest. We know the risks but also know the progress that is being made. He shows us the actual scans on the days that they are done so that we can see the changes . I always said that I would be fascinated to see inside Adam’s head, well now I have done it and as Adam and Ali would say “it aint pretty!”

Adam is in a small room with a glass front wall. There is a nurse sat outside at all times, there are wires tubes and displays everywhere. Today when we visited Adele talked to him and stroked his arm and his left shoulder moved. She did it again and the same thing happened, we were excited but also frightened to be too hopeful.

Later when we talked to Dr. Karongkorn he told us that the swelling in his brain was going down. This is the most important thing and that he was hopeful that by Friday or Saturday he could be out of danger from this. The ani-biotiics are working and there is no allergic reaction. They have had problems balancing the fluids in his body , but they are now happy with this. More importantly, they have done a few tests such as nipping or pinching the left side of his body and they were getting a reaction and he was very pleased with this. So we think the response we saw was real.

Every journey, no matter how long starts with a single step, and we are now hopeful that we have taken that first step.

Love to you all
