Bit of a difficult day today. Mike was very tired,restless and sleepless. He was supposed to have a whole bunch of tests, but some couldn't be done because he was too tired. In the end, his boring fart mother, me, arrived. Only five minutes being read to by soporific me and off he went to sleep - and that happened twice, not once.
Mike is thrilled by the responses to his blog site. He expected updates from each visitor as they arrived, so thank you everyone. Mikes 31 hits have outdone the rest of us!
Interesting with one lot of tests - checking for Post Trauma Amnesia. The Occupational Therapist asked him how old he was. Now he didn't have a twenty-fifth birthday because of being unconscious, so he said he is twenty four. Fair enough I thought, no cake, no presents, no birthday, one year younger.
Tomorrow is the family conference and our first opportunity to discuss where we are going.

Remember, growth needs sleep and rest. Seems contary I know, but true.
Poor Lee, you might have to find different reading matter.
Have a good day tommorow Mike, just think next birthday will be twice as many pressies.

The accelerating pace of your development continues to amaze and impress, Mike. Just pace yourself through your current transition stage to allow your supporters to keep in touch. Great to see a photo showing that sparkle in the eye and that determined look on your face. We await news of the family conference tomorrow with interest.
Lee, the ultimate test will be if you can get Mike to go to sleep while reading to him from the latest Economist.

Hello Mike,
I am going to Rorys party and we are going bowling or going to a movie. I hope you have a good day tomorrow. How is Lee? At school I wrote a story about Jonny Blue Lips the pirate. In the story he had a fight with the underwaterorc.
Does it feel funny to have Coke in your mouth? I like Coke too.

Lee - remember when the whole point of reading to your children was to help them get to sleep? It's been an exciting few days - Mike you're a legend! Time for some r&r it seems.
Lee, Bryce, Phil, Tracy & Andrew - love to you all!!
Carolyn, Grant & kids
Hey Mike
Definitely allowed to have a day of rest after such a big day on Monday.
Awesome to see a photo of you Mike, you have come a long way since most of us saw you last.
Keep it up.

Hi Mike
We have never met but I love your photo; I can see you have your dad's legs (we were often in the situation of studying them from behind on the Northern Aust. cycling tour).
Keep up the good work.
All love to you and family,
Barbara and Don
Mike
Great to hear from you, good luck with the recovery and keep up the great progress. I guess you are knackered after all your efforts over the last couple of days. Take care
Cheers
