The poet, broadcaster and author Michael Rosen has left intensive care 47 days after he was admitted.

Rosen, 74, the author of children’s books including We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and Little Rabbit Foo Foo, charted the initial stages of his illness on Twitter. He has not tweeted since late March but his wife, Emma-Louise Williams, updated wellwishers periodically while he was “very poorly”.

After more than a fortnight without updates about his health, Williams tweeted on her own account: “Today Michael has been in hospital for 8 weeks & I’m v happy to say he left ICU yesterday after a long & difficult 47 days. His recovery is continuing on the ward & will take time. He has done so well to get through this but please don’t expect him back here yet.”

She retweeted the post on his account and praised “the amazing efforts of the lovely kind staff” at Whittington hospital in north London, where Rosen has been receiving treatment.


Wonderful news! 🙂 Wishing him a full and swift recovery 🙂
 
Really pleased for him. Seems like a genuinely nice guy.
