Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ashbury,
First, allow me to apologise for everything that’s happened to both you and your family. I truly cannot imagine living in your position, and I have nothing but respect for your unwavering determination in seeing your children to good health.
Your son has been recovering quite well. The blood transfusions were successful, and he recently awoke with, for what we can tell, a sane mind. Occasional bouts of delusions still haunt his psyche, but it’s nothing we cannot work with.
Sadly, I cannot say the same for your daughter. Her self-inflicted mutilations were rather difficult to contain, but we have managed to get her into a semi stable condition. Her mind, however, seems to be broken beyond any conceivable repair. While we are trying our hardest to find a suitable treatment for her psychosis, we have decided to move her to a more secure position, to avoid her harming herself or others to any further extent. The harm she has caused to doctors and nurses here at the clinic cannot be ignored, as much as I want to help her. I must protect the lives of my colleagues before anything else. For clarification, please contact Officer Morris and Officer Hawthorne at the Langbourne Police Station.
Thank you for your understanding,
Dr. Appleton
