Wow, this is great news. Both with his health and the hopeful removal of his Tracki.
I can't wait to get down there to have a chat.
I think my plan may be to try and teach him some socialist economic policy. Maybe in his current state of mind I may be able to cheat him into believing it.
See ya,

So fanatastic to hear of Mike's responsiveness yesterday - thanks so much for recording it for us. Looking forward to popping out to the Hutt as soon as Mike is back in Cavitt and its ok to visit.
Mike - keep it up :)

Greg read out last night's posting as I scoffed my breakfast - I've just checked back in - sort of questioning whether he might have been embellishing the report, and this is even better! Guess this cld mean an early election . . .
Good luck on your Health 'n safety measures, Jannexx
Mike's answers to quite complicated questions must be so satisfying to you all. It is also making all of us, keeping up with the update, feel so happy as well!!
Keep up the encouraging progress Mike.

Dave and Irena

So Mike can remember the past - and anticipate the future. This could be both useful and dangerous.
I think it is very wise that Mike is not yet receiving too many visiotrs - who knows what secrets there are as yet untold.

One thing about nodding the head and shaking it, he is abviously strengthing the neck muscles.
Suggest that with his determined exercise programme that you should get him a room with gym mattresses on the floor. You can all sit cross legged when you visit and if he gets carried away it's not far to the ground that way.
Everyone must be really pleased with the way things are going. When Mike gets his voice back watch out for your ears as he is going to need to exercise that as well.

I am so glad to see that a sense of humour has not been lost in all of this!! All your latest news made great reading.
Love Barbara and Colum
Hey there Mike... you wait until your aunt departs & then the exciting stuff starts! As an ex SLT I'm impressed. I've been willing that stubborn, determined Brown (?) streak to surface & it has.
Much love & hugs,
Jane & Gerald
J. and G. needn't have mentioned the 'stubborn Brown streak' Dear Mike! You've demonstrated it ever since you were born! And now it's come into its own and will be such a help with your recovery. Love, Gran.
Hi Mike, Jeremy here. Just letting you know that we are stoked with your progress. You'll be pleased to know that your quads still look stronger than my chicken legs!!
We have been in Seattle for the last week which included going to the Museum of flight with fighter planes, airforce one and concord. We went to a baseball game last night which was amazing.
Rach and I are looking forward to supporting the LA Dodgers when we arrive in California (2 weeks away). Until then we are back off to Vancouver and Whistler.
