Welcome Visitors


Pete spoke to Betty this morning.

The hospital has 24 rooms over 7 floors and is well equipped. Takes about 15 minutes to get any hot water though! They are not sleeping well as they are uncomfortable (not sure if that is the beds or more likely because of the broken ribs).

She advised that Jim is doing well - he gets the last of his arm stitches out in about 4 days time. He is now going for short walks, but gets very puffed.

The past District Governor (Rotary) picked Betty up and took her to his home to meet his family, which was a really nice thing to do.

She went to the airport to meet Keri & Dermot and they were all very happy to see each other.

We also received the following email from Keri and Dermot:

We arrived in Cosco today to be met by Betty - a good sign we thought. We visited Jim in the hospital and were pleased with how he is looking. He looks a bit drawn but considering what he has been through that is to be expected. He has not got much energy but is improving each day. Today he had steak, mashed potatoes and veggies and really enjoyed it.

Betty is looking very well even though she is still in a bit of pain. She was her usual bright self.

They are receiving great support from the local Rotary clubs (3) - loads of sweet goodies to eat, or perhaps not.

I think that you can assure everybody that they are in good hands.

Seeing them again tomorrow.

Cheers Keri and Dermot
