Merry Christmas everyone. Martin is awake from the brain surgery, the tumor was removed, it was large but had not damaged any grey matter as it was in the lining. He is already alert and the paralysis on the left side is looking better. He will be moved to the ward tomorrow, if you would like to speak to him, please call his cell phone tomorrow. I am sure I have missed people – please let everyone know. Thank you all for you prayers over the last week. Alia
