Recovery

I am delighted to be able to report that John Thomas, last year’s Church Warden has been discharged from hospital.

John, one of our Indian parishioners, was seriously ill in Beaumont Hospital and subsequently in Tallaght Hospital following brain surgery.

John has made a remarkable recovery so far. It was lovely to see him walk, with assistance, into Church and to receive a phone call from him (in English – his second language) while I was on holidays to let me know that he had been discharged from hospital. Remarkable, considering his prognosis was that it was unlikely that he would walk or talk.

We thank God for his recovery so far and we pray for his continued progress at home with the support of his wife Annama and their children Sybil and Sharon.
