So many asking me, "How is Khine?" I am sorry I haven't posted for a while.
Khine is still in hospital but making great progress. He seems to be comingthrough this extensive brain surgery completely unscathed. He has full memory, is still tri-lingual (Arakan, Burmese, English) and discusses politics with his usual vigour. He is back to his old gentle, funny self. It's a pleasure to be in his company. There is still some swelling near his eye on his head but that is being scanned weekly and intravenus antibiotics are adjusted regularly to target this virulent infection. He will likely be discharged sometime in the next week to 10 days but will continue on oral antibiotics for some months.
Khine is desperate to get back to university but he has missed a lot so he has to weigh up whether to return now or next year. Hard decision for him to make.
He is getting out of the hospital most days between 2pm and 10pm and regaining the independence he loves to have.
After an interesting haircut by dad in hospital, Khine had his hair cut yesterday at a great hairdresser's called NP in Comely Bank Road (0131 332 7100). I'm putting the number in because Norrie, the hairdresser, was so gentle and sympathetic to Khine so if you're looking for an Edinburgh hairdresser, guys, Norrie's the man!
So it's amazing news from death's door to regaining his own independent life in 4 weeks. They're made of strong stuff, these Burmese! Oops, sorry Khine, these Arakan!

Having followed Khine's progress we are so delighted that he is making such a great speedy recovery. We hope that he continues to thrive on the love and care so obviously showered on him in his time in hospital, Bless you all for rallying round him in his time of need.
