Am never promising to do a public update again - every time I fall behind with the nonefiltered stuff and say I'll give folks a catch up, my life falls apart.

Huge thanks to everyone for the concern / messages etc. Massive thanks to people who've helped me with lifts to the hospitals for getting there before visiting time is over etc. I promise to let you all know my mom & brothers condition just as soon as I get chance to do a public update.... D'OH
