She's still in Singapore -- due out of hospital tomorrow though. I think the general opinion is that it's better to be safe and not travel for at least a week after that. And yes, will send along your regards and best wishes.YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-4762063671113207352009-07-19T19:56:12.800+08:002009-07-19T19:56:12.800+08:00Hope your mum is ok.
