Dave here standing in for Sharon.

Unfortunately, Sharon was admitted to the local hospital in Swindon last night after suffering a number of fits. This is widely accepted as a side effect of the swelling in the brain after the gamma knife procedure last week. The plan now is to increase the dosage of steroids to target a reduction in swelling and thus reduce pressure on the brain.

Thankfully Sharon has been clear of further fits since around midnight last night but is still getting back up to full speed in terms of normal functionality. She is however dealing with this in an amazing way. It was quite a scare for all of us.

We have lots of people to thank, but one person we are indebted to. Nicky (& Ash) were with us last night when Sharon was taken ill. Nicky was absolutely amazing in controlling the situation of someone having a fit, and cared for Sharon in the most incredible way. If she had not been with us, I shudder to think how we would have dealt with it. Thank You so much Nicky!

Thank You too especially for all the messages of love we have received today. In the midst of a rough situation, we have been subjected to an amazing display of love from family and friends across the world.
