Heath Ryan in Fine Form

May 22, 2009

Good news for Heath Ryan. Doctors at the Hunter Hospital now feel that Ryan’s condition has been caused by a thrombosis blood clot travelling from his leg to his brain and that this can be treated and allow Heath to make a full recovery.

Heath is currently in fine form, trying to run the world from his hospital bed. Doctors have refused Rozzie Ryan’s suggestion of an induced coma, and she fears chaining him to the bed may be the only way to allow his body to recover.

Heath and Rozzie send their best wishes to all the people who have been so concerned. According to Rozzie, "the response has been over-whelming, people have been so kind."

Heath looks forward to being back on the scene bigger and better than ever.
