accident

We have had an anxious 48 hours following news on Sunday that Eilidh was in an accident while at a Camp in South Island, New Zealand. She was flown to hospital with a badly broken left arm and has had two operations so far. She is being transferred tomorrow to a specialist hospital in Wellington where she will have more surgery. We managed to speak with her this morning, and she was sounding very positive despite the circumstances. The care and support that she has received from her friends in New Zealand has been wonderful. We are also extremley grateful to the health service in New Zealand. It looks like this will be a significant blip in her gap year, but hopefully she will be able to continue once the surgery is completed. At this point, we are praying that no infection will set in and so far the signs are positive.
