Hamster continues to progress. Look at that, an actual title!

Good news on Richard Hammond's condition: he's been moved from intensive care into a high-dependency ward, and the doctors say he's making 'satisfactory progress'. His condition is now considered 'stable', rather than 'serious but stable'. (Have a source.)

Also, there have been some lovely and reassuring statements from his co-presenters:

From Jeremy:
“I was being nice to him for a change.
“But I wasn’t getting any reaction. He probably thought ‘That sounds like Clarkson but it can’t be — he’s saying nice things’.
“He was lying peacefully with a black eye but didn’t react so I tried something else.
“I said: ‘The reason you’re here is because you’re a crap driver’. He then smiled at me.
“It was an amazing moment, very moving.”

From James:
"He tried to sit up when I came in and he gave me a sort of grin, which I have to say was a very uplifting moment for me," he said. "I had a bit of an unmanly moment at that point.
"I was chuffed to see him and although he's muttering, he seems much like the irritating little shit I know and love. Even when he can't say much, he seemed to make as much sense as he does when he can talk normally."

They're such a wonderful team. I am incredibly touched.

Yes, I know that I've been making rather a lot of entries about this, but I'm worried about him and so are you. Admit it. Everyone in the world loves Richard Hammond and you know it.

I LOVE THEM ALL. Sorry, this neccessitates use of capslock. *hugs*

Even the Fandom Wank people are worried. And the ones on my other message boards. I had no idea they liked Top Gear.

I was gonna drop you a line about this, but you're clearly way ahead. Should have known, really. They are a wonderful team.

Hurrah! And yes, I've had loads of people on my f-list sort of end their entry with this!

And yay for satisfactory recovery!

You're my main source of news on this - you're awesome, seriously.

Thank God he's out of IC. And Jeremy and James somehow have me cracking up and all 'awwww!' at the same time. XD

I'm really glad you're updating so much too. I'm pretty much relying on your posts to keep me up to date and I definitely want to be kept up to date. And the links! The links are good.

It is so wonderful to hear he's doing better, and it's so reassuring to hear they're all interacting normally. Ish. Clarkson said nice things to him! And of course he only smiled at the mean remarks! So reassuring.

I LOVE them. I do. And thank you so much for doing all these updates. They are lovely and make me feel a bit better and get not quite so anxious when I see a scary headline.
