We have the great pleasure of having Jay, Masami, Aska and Zoe to stay. Kev has responded to the family by opening his eyes and some interaction with them. It has been a great lift to our spirits to have their company and we really look forward to the next couple of weeks with them.

Saturday will see the arrival of Dad and Margret, who are currently o­n board the Indian Pacific to visit Kev and the family here, so lots of exciting family times ahead!

A team meeting was held o­n Monday where OT, physio, speech therapist and charge nurse are going to investigate the possibility of transferring Kev to Bunbury if rehab will be awhile off. The next meeting will be held the week of 6/7/07, if any family wish to attend or contribute they are welcome to do so.

Kev continues to take tiny steps forward, however has appeared flat and more unresponsive the last few days. We will continue to introduce alternative therapies and remedies to assist Kev in his recovery.

As this is being written Kev is in theatre have a cranioplasty (skull being replaced and screwed and plated in 4 places. The first cranioplasty will replace left side of skull, approx a third of his skull.

Plan:
1) Left craniectomy
2) Right craniectomy
3) Removal of trachyotomy
4) Transfer to rehab if ready, approx 4 weeks, or possible transfer to Bunbury Regional Hospital
