We collected Anna from the hospital this afternoon, following her MRI and review by the two specialists who have been looking after her today. Compared to the tense atmosphere this morning as they examined Anna, it was good to see them both relax as I handed them the results of the MRI. The MRI showed that Anna did not have either a cavernous sinus thrombosis or a retro-bulbar abscess - the complications which her husband and three other medics had all feared.
She did have a rip-roaring infection in all the sinuses in her head - “They’re all lit up like a Christmas tree” said the ENT surgeon, cheerily as he reviewed the pictures. Neither specialist can explain the swollen eye-lid adequately at the moment so they will follow Anna’s progress closely . Tests showed that Anna has grown a nasty bacteria and a mould in her sinus. She’ll need to be on some fairly heavy-duty treatment for a little while yet. Overall though the news is good. Thank you for your prayers.
With our love
Steve, Anna, Joshua and Aimée

Dear Kathryn, Very good to hear from you. Thank you for your message and for your prayers - much appreciated. Anna is doing a lot better this week than last week! :-) She sees the specialist tomorrow. We're working hard and people have started arriving for the consultation. We are going to need a lot of staying power in the next ten days! We trust the family is well. Please send us a photo some time soon! Steve
