Hi All,

Another big day for Mike in terms of visitors, physio and occ therapy.

I made the lovely speech team at the Austin sad with my comment about the swollow getting us down so I have promised them that I would say something wonderful about them! Thankyou to Allanah, Kim and Dammo – you guys are fantastic. Lovely Allanah comes each morning to sit patiently with Mike and feed him a few mouthfuls of food so that he gets the taste in his mouth —- now just make that swallow work!!!

Mike’s work colleagues had a big meeting in the spinal unit common room – which we have re-named “Bov Support Area”. They got to see Mike in his wheelchair again. Thankyou all for coming in and for your gifts for Ashley.

Also, thanks to Bedri and Rob for their continuing financial organisation …. I would be lost without your help and guidance.

Hoping to get Mike’s computer set up tomorrow so he can read all of you messages himself. He will also dictate a message for me to type in.

If I can work out the calendar, I am going to try to block out most of tomorrow for visitors – he is stuffed and really needs to get some rest. He loves his visitors but feels like he needs a rest day. Give me a ring if you are keen to come in and I will let you know how he is tracking. Thanks for your continuing support – I believe that fund raising details are almost sorted so will start getting some of this info up on the site soon.
