Kit - got your message by email......
Shocked at the news, but utterly relieved that he's going to be ok.
Feel helpless that we're so far away - if we could be there, we would, but our thoughts are very much with you both. I'll call you at a more sociable hour UK time.
In a lighter vein, tell him it's a bit of an extreme measure to get a drop of the hard stuff!!
Catch you soon.
Lots of love,
Geoff and Jennie
