Simon Harrison reports:
"I spoke with his Dad who had been up at the hospital yesterday with his Mum, and he is awake.

Although he wasn't really talking his eyes were open for several hours and he was acknowledging that his Mum & Dad were there.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for a steady recovery now.

His Dad told me that his room was full of cards and get well messages from all you fans, so many thanks for that. I will report as soon as there is any more to tell you."
