Quite to our surprise, at about 9am Janet woke from a deep sleep and has been talking with us ever since. She is aware of people in the room, and has been describing her symptoms to the doctor. Just now she sat up with help and drank some tea. Tom is feeding the fluids via a 1ml syringe.

We are so grateful for this communicative period  – Dan is coming up from London to see her, and going back later today to meet his family who have been in Germany.
