Mike seems in good spirits at present. His friend Kylie visited to say goodbye as she is off to the UK shortly. We keep expecting Mike to find it difficult seeing so many friends heading off on their OEs, but he seems okay about it. I presume sadness at what he has lost and is missing out on will kick in some time, but not yet, it seems.
His main achievement today was to eat a small pottle of yoghurt managing the spoon and the pottle. It was great to have independent eating. You never think what a complicated process that is. Mike needs to really concentrate and can't manage if any distractions occur, even just someone talking. The art of slow eating. The yoghurt took about half an hour. Makes me realise how much we shove food down, usually while yacking away. Mike did a little bit of walking today. Whilst his feet don't work well at all yet, he's getting better control over his torso and head. He has to really concentrate on each element to manage it though.
Regards
Lee

There might be quiet of few of your friends overseas Mike (or heading that way), but we are all thinking of you and following your progress. Keep it up mate.

Lee we haven't forgotten that a factor in Mike's equation is his Mum. Take care of yourself too on your family's journey to recovery. Mike is doing really well and it is wonderful to read of his daily progress.
