Another 'not much in the way of news' day continues. Mike, when asked by his nurse Diane if he'd like her to go away, nodded his head in reply. Mum and Dad's years of careful training in manners have been happily ignored in favour of what was probably the truth. However we are not sure if Mike wants Diane to go away because he's bored of her company or because he thinks she's interfering with his escape plans. On the courtesy side, Mike did reply yes when asked if he'd like Diane to visit him after he's moved to Cavit. He is also getting very good at figuring his way out of any position the nurses put him in, indicating that his problem-solving skills are still in existance.
The plan is still to move Mike back to Cavit rehab tomorrow, but that depends on the doctors' decision tomorrow morning. Hopefully after that the next step is to get that trachie out his throat, so if Mike can talk then he can directly tell people he'd like them to go away.

Ho ho - got the first comment slot tonight. Will be thinking of you for the shift tomorrow Mike. Visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial today which we found very moving. Hope you are perfecting that Peace sign for our return. First postcard from Japan in the mail to you. Matt and Lizzie send their love too.

Happy Easter Mike, Lee, Bryce, TJ and Phil. Thinking of you and all the best with the move back to Cavitt.
Love and regards,

I just heard about the accident (and this blog) from Mike's old housemate Brian. I only had the opportunity to meet Mike once, near the end of my travels in NZ. He probably thought that I was a figment of Brian's imagination, but I finally did make an appearance. The couple of hours I spent with him were more than enough to convince me that he is a great guy. 'Happy' definitely suits him, and it's wonderful to read about the progress he's making. Mike, I expect to hear about you training for another Ironman soon.

Just a note to Mike's family to let you know we are looking at this site daily to keep up with Mike's progress. It appears things are looking more positive than was the case a few weeks ago.
All the best

Twas really good to talk to you at the hospital today, Lee. Thanks for sharing this stuff with me - I'm still a bit teary when I think of what you're all going through, but I also feel privileged to now be at least a little involved in the community of people who care about what's happening. I'll continue to keep an eye on how things are via the website, and will very much have you in my thoughts and prayers as time progresses. And if you feel like a friend for a coffee or a walk some time, ring me - 970 7950 or text: 0210 389 689. Take care, Love
