RENTON UPDATE

from Mitchell Platts

Renton walked six or seven steps with the help of a Zimmer frame this morning (Friday). This is good news; good progress. Even so Renton is still quite low. This is understandable. His every day involves, or so it would seem, a test every minute. The staff at the hospital are brilliant and the care that Renton is receiving is astonishing. He is, however, exhausted and it looks like he will face another CT scan either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. He did stress to Jennifer this morning that he wanted everyone to know how delighted he is with all the support he has been receiving from around the world and he thanks everyone for their love and good wishes. He cannot wait to thank you all in person. That, however, will have to wait. He has still to eat or drink and he most certainly CANNOT receive visitors. Jennifer and I have decided that we will see how the weekend goes and then issue the next bulletin on Monday. So Jennifer thanks everyone for their fantastic support; she says the messages, the cards, the flowers, everything from everyone has been absolutely stunning and she hope that by Monday there will be more good news.

Regards

Mitchell
