[plug] [Fwd: Leon update]

[Michael L. Benjamin]

I'm very glad to hear Leon is showing these signs of recovery, it's very
promising considering
what he's been through.

I'd like to wish his family the best, and I hope he gets well.

Mike.

The latest Leon update from Lucy via Chris.

Hi Everyone,

This is the latest on Leon.

Leon has had a RAGING temperature over night and today, so was only
noticeably conscious for short burst of a minute or so, but still was
going in for the tracheostomy when I left this afternoon.

I visited the Case Manager, the one who will work with the Lawyer to
organise rehabilitation for Leon, so that he doesn't slip through the
holes in the system, she is such a lovely Christian woman! She was VERY
encouraging, and didn't blink at me saying that I knew he was conscious
for small periods today, and a larger time yesterday afternoonwhen he
felt panicky about not knowing where he was, and not being able to move
or speak...she agreed that OF COURSE I would know that, as I know Leon
the best, the medical staff only know a brain-injured comatose man, not
LEON.

Thanks and God bless

Chris
