Here's a few pictures from Duncan being ill. This piture below is from the first week after the operation. His stomach is still bloated. As Jean said: "Now he only looks 4 months pregnant as opposed to 10!"At the moment he's home but has to go in every day to have the bandages changed and checked. The latest thing is that the wound opened up again when they took out the stitches a week ago. It's a known complication in situations like Duncans, although the doctors and nurses hadn't expected it with such a young person. So Wednesday he was fitted with a vacuum machine to help him heal up. We think he will have to wear it for at least two weeks. Maybe more. When Duncan asked the doctor yesterday for how long he's to wear it, the doctor stuck his fingers in his ears and started singing - they don't dare say. But with the machine from today he only has to go in twice a week and not every day. That will make everything easier!
We have been amazed how many people have phoned, written, sent flowers and cards or prayed for us. Our dog has been looked after, Duncan has had visitors, I have been fed and taken out. People all over Denmark and half of England. Protestants and Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists and folkekirken - Duncan thinks he's become an ecumenical movement :-) We're very grateful for it. I have felt carried by it. And with out the support from so many it would have been difficult. This pictures shows a selection of the flowers Duncan had at one point. The teddy bear is from some children in the congregation.

  1. Great photo of Duncan. Thought he had giant pants on - then looked more closely at the duvet!

    Be healed brother.
