17th July 2007
Since we wrote the last update, Richard has had a rather mixed time with fewer good days, indeed, only parts of some days being easier for him.
His condition is not expected to improve significantly, and indeed he is at quite a weak phase at the present time. He is fully aware of all the good intentions and wishes that continue to pour in and remembers all of you and your experiences with him in detail.
Apologies to those of you who have tried to speak to him by telephone. He has genuinely not been able take the calls. He finds conversation of any sort very tiring and when he has met with visitors, or taken calls it takes a lot out of him. We hope you will be very understanding about this and not take any offence if he is not able to speak to you. He wants you all to be reassured that he knows you have his best interests at heart and he remembers you all.
He has been far less mobile around the house as his strength has declined and at the present time he is additionally experiencing other discomforting side-effects. He has not had the strength to do any writing and this is a disappointment to him, though he has managed to have a couple of days when he was able to make a private retreat.
Please keep him in your prayers as he keeps you in his.
With every good wish,Michael and Helen
