		<description><![CDATA[Hi All, Saw Forbesy on Sunday and had a good catch up. He’s definitely looking thinner as he has lost a lot of the muscle bulk in his upper body. That said, he is able to use his biceps on each arm to bend at the elbow but relies on gravity to extend at that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Crew, well, the man is on the mend. Slowly but surely. We visited Mike again yesterday in the spinal ward of the Austin, where he has a little way to go yet before he can get to the rehab ward. Physical Mike has his trachy out, which is a step in the right direction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi All,Naant and I saw Michael, Mon, Lesley and Bruce yesterday on the spinal ward. Overall, my impression is that Forbesy is actually doing quite well. His mood seemed high and he was having increasing awareness of which muscles and skin areas had retained function. Physically, he has had a roughish week with a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Gang, Progress! That&#8217;s what the world is about! Mike has moved to the Spinal ward which is a half-way home before heading to Royal Talbot for rehabilitation. In reality, it&#8217;s a pretty frustrating place to be- because it&#8217;s a place where the staff try and ascertain whether there are any road blocks preventing Mike [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Crew Sam, Bridie and myself went and visited Mike again today to check status, and he was jumping out of his skin. His improvement has been unexpectedly good in the last 48 hours, largely due to his excellent respiratory function. So good that he’ll be moving to the spinal ward tomorrow, with plans to [...]]]></description>

At this point a trickle of visitors each day is perfect to provide him with enough distraction and support to get through the day, whilst allowing him enough time to rest and recover from his injuries (plus give Mon an opportunity to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Gang, Have been to see Mike again today. He’s in fine spirits and there’s certainly some some good news in the offing. He’s still in the ICU, but that’s to be expected for this week. The good news comes on a couple of fronts. His condition is still serious but stable. Physical Mike has [...]]]></description>

He remains in the ICU (intensive care unit) at the Austin Hospital, where Mon remains by his bedside for as long she is physically able. Physical Update: He is in a serious but stable condition. The surgeons have [...]]]></description>
