Update on Joseph

The saga unfolds

We had an unfortunate incident last night when the IV drip perforated Joseph's vein and his arm filled with fluid, doubling in diameter. It was very painful for him, but we now know he's fine. The swelling has reduced to almost normal and he has full use of his hand and arm.

We're hoping to be back in the UK on Monday or Tuesday still, but the insurance company have rebooked our flights for 30th September without consulting us. Not sure why, but we're trying to get them to bring them forwards.

We've now missed our scheduled flight home and not been able to get in touch with our friends who are travelling with us, so they'll be concerned about us . . . we've left a message with their check-in desk and our friend who will pick them up.

We're fine. Not stressed or anything . . . the doctors here are great and Joseph is clearly getting much better.
