LATEST BULLETIN ON RENTON LAIDLAW'S CONDITION
(Scroll down for 5.30pm update)

From Mitchell Platts of the European Tour.

Friday am
Renton remains upbeat, as do the specialists, but whenever the heart is strained or backfiring there is concern, so he might be transferred to the heart hospital this weekend to have a proper pacemaker fitted which the cardiologist wants done soon rather than later.
Otherwise Jennifer - his sister - reported good progress and once again thanks everyone for their thoughts and for so kindly not putting the hospital switchboard under pressure.
If you do wish to send a card, the address is:
Renton Laidlaw, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, The Critical Care Unit, Fulham Road, London SW3 6JJ.

Later message from Mitchell Platts:
I have just spoken to Jennifer again. Please direct all mail to her - Jennifer Laidlaw, The Caledonian Club, 9 Halkin Street, London SW1X 7DR.
No flowers, no fruit at this time to the hospital - they simply could not cope. We should wait until Renton is settled into a proper ward.

5 pm update
Not such a great day for Renton. He has been in a lot of pain and they will be doing a scan to try and locate the problem. Will update again on Saturday.
