Best wishes again. Still thinking about you.
If John is up for visitors and still in ICU let me know because I work at the main hospital.

Hi everyone
twas the night before Christmas (well almost) and John is astir - he is still in ICU because there are no beds out at Burwood and now looking at the beginning of January. I got some extra days off this week and came down on Sunday evening - speedygirl picked me up and we snuck me into ICU - she asked him if he wanted to phone me and he wrote her he was waiting for me to phone he thought I would have by now - so I pulled the curtain back next to his bed and said "or would you rather speak to me in person" His jaw dropped to the ground and he looked absolutely gobsmacked

- it was a wonderful sight He has improved so much in this last week since I have arrived down here and it gladdens my heart to see.

He has finally got the confidence to be weaned off the ventilator during the day and is just using a dehumider through his trachy tube.

On Monday he wheeled himself halfway down the ward by wheelchair and he has been standing up each day on the tilt table which he loves. Yesterday they let down his trachy cuff for the first time and he spoke - his first words were "hi doll, I love you"

Then today he got his sister Rachel to go out and buy me a dozen red roses - who says that romance has died

So this message goes out to all our kiwi biker friends to say "have a wonderful festive season" We think you are all wonderful people and please take care on the roads over the festive season - there are a lot of idiots out there in cars!!!!!!!!!!
Love IL4 and Coaster
