You're a brilliant team - Thank you!

This blog is to all the people who have been looking after Ben so
well. Doctors and nurses and admin. people and kitchen staff and
cleaners. It's so hard to express how much we appreciate your care.
Thank you! You are doing a fantastic job.

Thanks to everyone:

- to a caring consultant T. who everyone speaks so highly of, and his
chirpy assistant L. who is always friendly and helpful. And of course
the lovely registrar HL who is willing to massage backs on her knees
in the corridor (it's great to see you back!) and A and J who were
always willing to answer our questions.

- to all the fantastic nursing and other staff in 3W who feel like
family at our home away from home: to K and Y and S and J and L and K
and the other L and the other S and the two N's (one with a double k)
and R (did your Dad get it wrong?) and K and D and A and E and S and L
and J and K and J and A and J and M and N and E and M and M and
another two L's and E and F and K and A and M. Also E and K and S and
M. And the support staff: S and J (muchas gracias J por hablar en
Español con Benjamín!) and R and R and J on the phone and N trying to
keep us all clean. Thanks guys so much! We hope Ben will be back with
you soon.

- and to the great team in ICU: to those who give Ben the intensive
care he needs: S and S and J and J and A and L and S (who will move on
to higher places next year) and also to V and C and R and R and G. And to the doctors who do a professional job and keep us in the loop too: G and C and M and E and D and more whose names I've forgotten.

- and to M and her team in the kitchen who provide large plates of hot chips at odd hours and who check up him in ICU.

- and to those we've forgotten to mention in our list of letters: just pick your own please: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, and sorry for forgetting you!  

So, on behalf of the family and all Ben's friends who love him so
much: thank you to all.

Meanwhile, this morning Ben is still in critical but stable condition.
