Ward 81 visiting hours are 11-1pm and 3-8pm. However, Mike's Mum & Dad would like some time alone with him each day, so if you can please visit Mike between 12 & 1 pm, or 4 to 7 pm.
Talk to Mike lots and keep everything positive. Keep explaining who you are and what you are doing. Head injury patients get tired very quickly, so if he seems to be getting agitated just cut your visit short.
Mike is very sweaty, but this just seems to be part of the head injury process. We will try to keep a damp cloth by his bed and do feel free to mop him down.
Kylie has made a journal book which we will also keep by his bed. When you visit, if you get a chance to write a message in the journal, we think it will help Mike when he regains consciousness. If you write what you notice about how he is behaving, this will help his therapists.
