Paul again. Anne is feeling a little bit better. She is still having tests, as they are not sure what's happening, and still having difficulty taking blood; but the registrar saw her at 5pm and managed to take some (the first time in 24h). Thank you to those who were praying specifically for this.

Anne is thankful for lovely kind staff; she has had her first mouthfuls of food after two weeks of fluid. She thanks everyone who is texting her, but says she may not reply as she can only text with difficulty using her left hand.

Anne now has her own beautiful christmas tree, thanks to the Conaghans. She is looking forward to strictly on TV. Please continue to pray.
