Rajan Raju's progress

I reproduce below, for information, a mail just received from Chandru.


"My dear Jayaram
All well. Rajan continues to progress. He was made to sit  up on the bed with his legs dangling over the sides day before yesterday. While lying on bed  they remove the neck brace. For caution, the brace is put and he is turned etc., He was given a regular shower bath with shampoo for his hair etc., from day before yesterday. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy continues and he is slowly regaining movements. It is likely he may be shifted to the other rehabilitation hospital for specialised rehab tretment tomorrow. Let us hope and pray his progress will be faster after that. 
There was a marathon run yesterday here and the distance to run was  100 kms.Almost  1000 people participatedin this.  I understand Rajan had earlier registered his name to participate for the 100 kms run, He participates in all such  activities here and also outside Singapore. He has done this earlier  occasions also. As he is in hospital now and cannot participate in the current event,  many of his and Anu's friends decided to run on his behalf. The organisers, when informed of Rajan being in hospital, were happy to let them do the run like a relay race. Here groups of 2 persons ran the distance in laps of 10 kms of the route, the last batch running the last lap of 10 kms. They had prepared special T shirts with the wordings 'TEAM RAJAN - Got to keep a good thing going"  Anu and Arjuna ran the first lap of 10 kms.. The team completed the run successfully. Very thoughtful and supportive - this gesture of Rajan and Anu's friends."
