After the post below it was in fact another tense day or two before Josh was evacuated. To cut a very long story short...
The Turkish evacuation company were unable to do the evacuation until (possibly) Saturday afternoon and after taking medical advice from many people the family left on the first available flight out of Kyrgyzstan which happened to be going to the UK. This was early on Friday morning (Kg time) and they arrived in London at 10.30 (UK time) and were taken straight to a nearby hospital. Amazingly a nurse was able to fly with them - she had got in touch with us on Thursday to see if she could help and agreed to change her tickets which were for the following Sunday. We still have no idea how she came to hear about the situation or how she got our number...
Josh is now being carefully monitored. He is doing well, is putting on weight and smiling at his mum (the first smiles of his life!) but he will need to be kept under observation for quite some time and may need surgery in the next week or so.
Nevertheless, everyone is very relieved that he is now able to be well looked after. Hurrah!
