I sent a text to Martin and it was good fortune Helen was awake and happy to speak to me.
She did sound more fluent than the last time I spoke to her and did say she feels rested. This seems in stark contrast to what we are hearing from Mandy , so it really sounds as if she is going through peaks and troughs.
While we were talking a visitor arrived and we had to hang up but Helen did say she'll speak to me later . Whether she'll be able to or not will depend , but at least at that moment she was positive.
