Hi Guys, Saw Richard on Sunday and he is looking even better that before. He is now starting to argue with me (so definitely getting better). Really looking forward to having him home for Christmas. Once again thank you all for your very kind donations in helping us achieve our target.

Just a quick update. I saw Richard on Sunday and he is now looking so very well. He is no longer on his medication and no longer has the dark rings under his eyes. To be truthful I am so glad that I bit the bullet and put him in private rehab and worry about payment later. He is due to complete his 6 week programme day after boxing day, but they are letting him home for Christmas with a view of finishing off after Christmas. These people deserve a medal.

Richard is now able to walk unaided and able to dress himself. The power of the dag is huge and that seems to motivate him. I am also lead to believe that he is smoking far less. Maybe we will kill two birds with one stone. I shall be seeing him again on Friday for a much needed haircut. Once again Welsh contingency of the family thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
