EXCERPT FROM EMAIL TO FRIENDS

These are people we shared a room with at the hospital late last year. Their daughter has a very rare degenerative neurological disorder. They have emailed us, and I'm replying here.

"We've had Rose down in ICU for nearly a month. We are very lucky that she received a liver transplant on 6 May. She's been battling away on a ventilator since then, returning to theatre 4 times to fix various complications. We're hoping she can start to progress soon."
