Thought I'd better put up a post about this. Mike's at Auckland Hospital in the neurology ward, which is ward 81. No flowers please, as the nurses don't let them in for fear of infections. However we can put up cards and things around his bed. Kylie has already made a lovely photo-collage and Rob has dropped off the t-shirt he made for Mike to wear on the Ironman - Rob's a podiatrist and was going to be sponsoring Mike.
As I said before, there are heaps of people flocking to see him and the nurses have actually suggested reducing the flow compared to the first few days, presumably due to the risk not just of disturbing Mike but also the other patients. Mike is going to be in need of visitors in the long-run, so there will be plenty of opportunities for visiting him over the next few weeks and months, so don't feel you need to dash up to see Mike this weekend. After all, I have lots of stories about the UK to bore Mike with yet.
Mum, Dad, Phil and I appreciate all the support we've been receiving, and it's wonderful to know how much Mike is appreciated.

The blog is a great idea.
We do not know Mike but we sure feel for him and for all of you.
We just got back from Aust yesterday.
Lots of loving thoughts from us in Wellington

Hi from the Cuzzies in the Lower North. Jo & Grant have managed to trap two Jaffas (1 ex-Jaffa and one 1 legged one!) in Balmy Palmy for the weekend. We are all thinking of you Mike and know you've the strength and super nice guy will power to pull through.
All our highly effective Townsend Brown love and support to Lee, Bryce, Tracy & Phil!
Boots and his now not so pink paws also send purrs and love, even though Scotty has banned him from HIS room after a early morning scratch session involving Scotty's purple limb and Boot's talons!
Love, Katie (who demands senior heirarchy - my god Scotty actually knew how to spell this and corrected his scrabble bracelet toting older sister), Jo, Grant & Scotty. Grant is off buidling mai mais on Jen's Lake in prep for the duck shooting season.
TP is Townsend - Payton! in case anyone asks!
