Thanks for all the well wishes. If nothing else, it certainly makes me feel better.
It's only recently I've been able to get through a day without thinking about my friend and this brought it all back.
I've found a bit more out.
Jeanette (my friends sister) had an emergency section because of pre eclempsia.
The kid weighs in at 2lbs 12oz's and is obviously getting the best medical treatment she can just now.
I know it's a cliche but they are like family to me. Me and my brother carried John's coffin, I still visit his mother to check in on her, me and Jeanette's husband went to Manchester to see Roger Waters last year etc... They're all such a decent, honest, hard working lot and they really don't deserve any more grief or heartache.
