Sorry for the delay in blogging (I told you I was new to it!)
I'm the only one that writes this blog & I've been busy welcoming my baby son into the world!
So forgive me for simply copying & pasting what has been happening on the Facebook page...
Our website should be launched tomorrow by the way, just fine tuning now.
This post from Katie was from an email from Adam's Dad Andrew which he asked to be posted....
And finally this I posted from Andrew today...

A quick media/fundraising update for you all.
This last week we've been truly amazed by everyones generosity and the support for Adam is truly incredible. People that know and love Adam have donated in addition to so so many people who have never met him. We're still desperately trying to spread the word to keep on with the funds.
SO FAR - we have raised just over £17,500 which is just fabulous so again MASSIVE thanks, In addition to this we have the money raised in Thailand and we will get an update on the figures over there as soon as possible. So we're certainly heading in the right direction but we desperately and urgently need people to keep on donating. A tenner from everyone on this page would go absolutely miles. Please take 5 mins from your day to donate if you haven't already.
Media wise we are making some headway. Adams story has appeared in the Yorkshire Post, Wakefield Express, Bradford Telegraph and Argus, Daily Star, Daily Mail - online.
We've done an interview with Real Radio which will hopefully air tomorrow - keep listening and ask others to listen too. There is potential of us being on Look North tomorrow too so keep your eyes peeled for his story on there.
Please keep up the good work and keep spreading the word - this time last week we started this facebook group and its taken a week to get to 5242 members - keep spreading the word and see if we can do the same in the next week coming. Really keen to hear of any more things people can do to help.
We have a website that has been built - it should be launched on here so keep an eye on here for announcements.
There is a fund-raising event that is in the midst of being organised. Its looking like it will be in Leeds on Saturday June 16th so please keep an eye on here where it will be listed as an event. Get the date in your diaries. It will be afternoon fun into evening fun. Bands/music/bbq etc. Should be good. BE THERE

[I learnt tonight that his date may have changed already! I've left Matt & Lee in charge of organising the live event, and well...I'm sure they'll get it sorted]
Hi everyone. Again a MASSIVE thanks to all of you for donating, re-posting and generally spreading the world. I have just had an update from Adele and Andrew and they are keen to share it all with you all.
Saturday 26/05/2012
Keep on sending all your memories and stories about how Adam has touched your life, we, his parents, cannot begin to tell you how much this is helping us and we believe that all the love and support that is coming Adam’s way is having an impact.
Adam is still in a coma and still on life support, but we tell him about all the messages and the help he is receiving both practical and spiritual and we think we can detect a response. Today the doctor said :
‘everything the same as yesterday but better’
They are treating a number of problems at the same time, but the most important is that the brain swelling is still decreasing.
Tonight we noticed some REM movement to his eyes and his blood pressure has improved. We all know what a strong man Adam is and despite what the physical diagnosis shows, we who know and love Adam know what he can achieve. He constantly astounds us.
Thank you to all his wonderful friends too numerous to mention but all important. Our deepest gratitude to Neil and Katie, Rick, Steve and Nid. Out of this terrible and unfathomable event has come some of the most profound and caring love and this is what we all need to focus on.
Just remember folks that good can always overcome evil, don’t let go.
Love to you all
Adele and Andrew ( Adam’s Mum and Dad)
PS I am going to get a T shirt made with that message on: “Everything the same as yesterday but better”

Just received an update from Andrew....
(Campaign update from Katie later too!)
Hi everyone,
First a little background information.
The doctor that we have mentioned previously is one of a team looking after Adam. He has been away for the past few days and we have been talking to the surgeon that carried out the operation and another doctor (I regret I do not know his name, but will find out). He is the one that made the comment “Everything the same as yesterday, but better”. He is quite serious, looks down whilst he is thinking and chooses his words carefully. It is scary, because whilst you are waiting for him to say something you are fearing the worst.
Yesterday he told us that they had done a scan and there were signs of epilepsy and he needed to do another scan.
Today we were waiting for his report, holding our breath and he looked up and smiled and said “Yes, today things better”. The brain swelling is still coming down, the fever has gone and he is doing better. He told us they planned to do another scan later in the day.
When we visited tonight they told us that they had done the scan and there were no signs of epilepsy, it had gone. In addition tonight the nurse told us that the Doctor had visited Adam, said Adam’s name and Adam responded.
Great news.
Keep the positive energy going.
Love to you all
Andrew and Adele
