We finally managed to get through this morning - their phone hadn't been set up properly. They have now been moved to a new room - and it's even nicer than the previous one - it's the presidential suite!!
They are both well, however, Jim is not healing as fast as anticipated, mostly due to the altitude. He should have the stitches out of his arm in a few days and hopefully the chest drain will hopefully come out in a couple of days also. Oxygen remains for now!
The Rotary District Governor from 2 years ago has visited them, as has the secretary of the British Consulate. She has asked Betty if she would like to go shopping this afternoon, which will be lovely for her to finally get out!
Some of you have tried to email or phone Jim & Betty, however, without much success. Please feel free to leave messages on this blog for them (instructions how to are in the comments of yesterday's post). Your comments are being passed on to them on a daily basis.
Jim and Betty would like to thank everyone for their messages and appreciate the concern everyone has shown.

Hi Aunty Betty! Can't wait to hear how the shopping trip went. I am blown away by the number of important visitors you have had, and their genuine concern. It certainly makes the distance and our inability visit a little easier to bare when we know you are being so well looked after. Hope you have managed to find a way to get a few more cups of tea each day ;) Will be looking forward to hearing of your move to lower ground. Love and hugs to you and Jim both, Lisa in Tumbarumba ;)
