Fantastic news! Such has been Hilary's spectacular progress over recent days that the Hospital has agreed to allow her to go home for the weekend as from this evening. She will obviously have to go back to go through the rehabilitation process (we don't know how long that will take), but to get to this stage so soon is simply incredible and shows how strong and determined she is. All being well, she will be at Ramsey on Sunday to watch Gail (and me!) compete in the Half Marathon.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, because we deliberately weren't too specific in previous postings, Hilary had most of her left leg amputated as a result of the injuries she sustained. This was done 4 days after the accident and was unavoidable despite the very best efforts of the medical team, she would not have survived otherwise. She has come to terms with this remarkably well and is very positive about having an artificial limb fitted in the not-too-distant future and getting back to as close to a normal life as possible. Now that she is able to get out and about, it is as well that everyone knows about this now. 

Considering the stage she was at in her recovery only 2 weeks or so ago, this latest development is almost miraculous!
