Paul Continues to Remain Stable

The Medical Team is slowly bringing him out of his induced coma. This is a very gradual process, and is an important step as it enables them to start their assessment of his injuries. On the one hand, there are some encouraging signs, but at the same time, new challenges emerge as the days pass. I learned earlier today that he is starting to move his hands and his fingers, with more movement on the left hand than the right. The eye lids are also starting to twitch, and he has been coughing. However, he a lung infection and this is something the critical care team has to manage. My sense is this is something they expected, and are trying to overcome.

Penny is returning to Austria to be with him on Monday afternoon. William has come home from Harrow for the evening and will then head back to school on Sunday evening.

As ever, Charles
