Dear friends,

Rinpoche is doing well in the physio morning and afternoon. Rinpoche's sugar levels are improving he is now on insulin. Blood pressure is now close to normal. Rinpoche still gets fatigued quickly which doctors say is normal in this kind of situation, so a lot of rest is required.

Rinpoche wants to leave the hospital soon (would then become an outpatient). That may happen next week if all goes well.

Again many many thanks for everyones prayers and support.
