Rob, a big hug and best wishes!

Rob, we all (I am sure I speak for the rest of us) i'm hoping that you are having positive outcomes from your treatment and doing as well as possible in the month since we last heard from you. Slainte! (Well, that's Irish rather than Scottish Gaelic, but I'm sure you get the drift).

Has there been any update on Rob's condition?

This must be incredibly hard for his family as well.

Here’s the latest update, but first I’d like to thank everyone for their supportive comments.

I’m doing much better. In fact right now I am not connected to the ventilator which has been keeping me alive since May, and receiving 4% oxygen above normal. Meaning I am approaching normal.

Physically I’m in poor shape - can’t walk, even with a Zimmer frame or walking sticks - and I still can’t swallow, so eating is out.

The plan is to remove me to a recovery ward in a week or two, where teams of Physio and SALT - Speech and Language Therapy - will get those things in order.

I should most certainly be home in December, when we will celebrate the Greatest Family Christmas Ever!

Fingers crossed you keep improving, Rob. Thinking of you, feller.

Rob, you're an inspiration and a reminder of the strength and power of life. You're always in my thoughts as I pick up my guitar. Your music has been a source of inspiration and aspiration; I'm sending the spirit and hope your way.
I'm looking forward to your full recovery.
