Khine's parents arrive in Edinburgh.

After amazingly getting visas to travel to UK, today Khine's mum and dad arrived from Rangoon. They went straight to the hospital for a joyful reunion with Khine, who looks so different from this time last week when he was still on life support!

The University have generously given them great family accommodation in Newington and Wei Wei has moved out from our home to join them.

This will help Khine so much in his recovery.

What a lovely day.

Khine on Friday

Khine's parents got visas today so they are flying to Scotland tomorrow to see him. They will arrive on Saturday 7.2.09 and will go straight to the hospital where Khine is slowly recovering. It's incredible to think that Khine, Wei Wei (his sister) and their parents will all be in Scotland over the next few weeks. Really amazing.

Khine 4.2.09

Khine's sister and I spoke to the surgeon today who explained that this had been a very serious infection and we can't expect him to heal too fast. We must be patient. He is making very good progress and they are very happy with him. So that is all good.

And tonight he was rocking along to Louise's i-pod in his bed very loudly on the earphones. Poor guys in the ward with him!

Khine on Tuesday 3.2.09

Khine's eye and head are a little swollen again tonight so that is not good to see. The nurse explains this great infection takes time to beat. He is eating a lot though. His sister cooked him Burmese food then his friend brought him Thai food. He had bananas and other fruit so that has to be good. Keep praying.

Tuesay 3.2.09

Khine is out of danger. He was moved out of Intensive Care Unit yesterday into a neurological ward. He can talk, eat, drink and even phone! He has head pain and is exhausted but is making steady and speedy recovery. Thank you all for your prayers, wishes, offerings at the pagoda and love.

Sunday progress

Today Khine laughed, waved, wrote, nodded and showed that so far the infection has not caused major damage. He is off life support machines and will move out of Intensive Care to a neurology ward tomorrow, if he is stable overnight.

Amazing news about Khine

This morning I got a phone call from Khine's friend Ian to say that he is communicating through writing. Today they hope he will take over breathing for himself. His first question was "Mum and Dad?" So now we pray they get their visa.
Off to hospital more later.
