An Important Day For The Family

Today has been an important and very happy day for all the Hiltons. Firstly, Charlotte arrived back having flown from Canada early this morning into London. She has had a wonderful three months away, and has returned brimming with stories of what has been the happiest of times. Everyone is thrilled to have her home. She has blossomed in every sense.

However, the very happy news is an encouraging development that we wanted to share with everyone concerning Paul. Last night, the tracheotomy was removed and Paul was, for the first time, able to share a few words with us. I understand that he asked a visitor the expected question “Where is Penny”? What more could we wish for today? The Medical Team expected some encouraging developments with Paul’s speech this week and their assessment has been absolutely correct. A group of speech therapists has started to work with Paul and with their physiotherapy colleagues and the medical team. Paul continues to benefit from wonderful care and treatment.

Penny heads to Mull with William tomorrow. She will then fly out to Zurich on Wednesday afternoon and will be with Paul on Thursday, leaving William and Charlotte to spend an happy two days together in Mull at The White House.

As ever, Charles
