No change overnight.

The good news this morning is that Will is still doing fine on the reduced levels of support. Still on 10mg of morphine with no other sedative. They have also further reduced his breathing support, however even at this lower level it is still considered full support. We are now waiting to speak to the senior Dr. Apparently the ultrasound done yesterday picked up some form of cyst inside his abdomin (not in any of the organs). Not sure whether this is the cause of the problem or caused by the problem. They also had to add some fluid containing something called albumen as he has passed huge amounts of urine and has lost a lot of this (which is apparantly necessary). Today they will also try feeding him through a straw into his stomach. They will start with gluccose water and see how he takes it. Finally we had a bit of eye opening action this morning. Just the tiniest peaks, but quite exciting for us. That's about it at the minute.

Great news guys! We've all got quite a spring in our steps at the moment with all of this positive news. Lovely to talk to you yesterday, Jules.

Harold and Julie, Great news, We are so glad to here that Will is doing better and that something has been found, hoping of course, that excising it will make all the difference. Longing to know what the eye opening, little peaks were. Still praying and feeling somewhat excited, as if a good end is in sight. Lots of love to all. Mum and Dad
