So sorry to hear the news Paula.
I've meet Steve a few times, and then of course you where both over in the 
Netherlands last 
year, and he's a great bloke but I know he, well both of you, have health 
problems.
Medical science can do a lot these days as I know well and have reason to be 
thankful for. I 
may still be on crutches from my accident a good five years ago but it could 
have been 
much worse. I am sure they'll get to the bottom of whatever the infection is he 
got like they 
did with me when I picked something nasty when covering things in former 
yugoslavia. Had 
me laid low in hospital  for some time. That was a few years back and things 
have come on 
a long way since them so I'm sure they'll find something for whatever he's got.

Be strong, all our thoughts are with you and you only have to let us know if 
there's anything 
we can do and we hope to hear the news that Steve is recovering and look 
forward to 
seeing him back his feet.
