Hi all, Tracy here again. Mike is very tired, but when he is awake he seems a bit more alert today than he was previously. He's back to being very sweaty again. I spent the night at Hutt Hospital and the staff were very attentive to Mike, including setting up a fan to help him keep cool. They are also very good at introducing themselves to us and answering our questions, and there is a more relaxed atmosphere than there was at the Auckland hospital.
Mike has apparently settled on a goal for himself. He has to wear splints on his arms and legs for 2 out of every 4 hours to stop the muscles in his limbs from lengthening or shortening in the wrong ways. Mike evidently does not approve of the splints and is determined to get them off. So far he's been unsuccessful, but his focus and lack of interest in giving up bodes well once he's conscious enough to have some better goals.

Two comments on the site at 6am isn't good enough.
Hope you ad a restful night Mikey.
I'm sure the splints are a nuisance especially when you want to be out there biking but save your energy for practicing the swallowing and coughing!!
I've been through some great photos of us all on the Heaphy - you wih your guidebook and compass that kept us all on track.
Ali says to tell you he has the big end back in his car - what ever that is.

Lee, Bryce, and all the family
It's great news that Mike and all of you are back and that Mike is in such good specialist hands.
We will call sometime over the weekend to talk to one of you in person and check out what practical help we can provide for you all now you are back - maybe a good casserole for the hordes of family and friends who'll be about. It's amazing how one drops back into the food thing as a way of helping.
Hope today is going well, and looking forward to the next post.

All sounds positive. Thankyou Tracy for setting up the site.
Feel lost not going up stairs for the daily report, but this is great.
Watch out for when Mike figures out how to get the splints off. It's onto the next challenge then.

Margaret, Karl, Lisa and Eddy think of you all so much and send all our love and prayers your way.
