19 Sept
Not much more to say - mom says she was quite upset when she saw him yesterday afternoon as he was fighting his restraints and still isn't conscious - probably 10 - 20 % conscious - last night he was more relaxed, his heart rate was up to 118 but probably because of the stress caused by fighting to get up - apparently he tries to lift his head and I know when I was there he was continually trying to scratch an itch on his face but couldn't because of the restraints - temperature normal - must be torture but at least everything seems to be looking good - me and Ilse going down this weekend to see for ourselves - hold thumbs for the removal of the respirator today / tomorrow.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Kemp Estates must be a very different place without Colin behind his desk!

Progress sounds good. Tell him from one fighter to another that the only way is up! He will understand. Evan Jones. Cape Town. Class of 77.
Thanks John & Karen - it is - I saw a Condor passing me on my way back from QT today and couldn't help myself from checking whether it had the Kemp Estates sign on the back - also when I go past KE Colin is usually there till past 7 - ja it must be like a ghost town in the day time as well but from the sounds of things, its business as usual.
Thanks Evan - I'll tell him and if u are coming for the re union I'm sure he'll be back in EL, although maybe at the hospital - dont think they'll allow us to take his bed to any of the functions though..

Hi Evan!
I heard you also had a bit of a nasty accident
How's the leg doing?
