Mad Hats and Cup Cakes

Now we have a walking, talking Stevie we put him straight to work in the kitchen. The OT was on board with this and supplied him with a cooking/washing up chair. 
We celebrated my 21st with a Mad Hatter's Tea Party thus allowing me to demo my awesome makeup skills and providing a straight forward dress code. It's hard to believe that Steve nearly died before we had friends round for tea, we won't wait quite so long next time. Note for those not in the loop, Steve's had encephalitis and has been in a coma. He was not expected to recover but is way more determined to live than doctors expected. He has also relearned the walking recently and is keen to try the cycling too!
How things were  at the end of August when in the ICU. Steve is wearing his Swedish Nose which allowed him to cover his trachy and speak.  We think his first words were 'Where's my pussy?' He remembers his first words being "Rachel! Jenny!!!'

Thankyou Chocolate. He thinks he is all well now but I check regularly by giving him little tests like
'Let's see how well you vacuum.' "How's your window cleaning?' etc It seems to be working.

Steve, mate! How did you do it? Ab-so-lute-ly bloo-dy a-ma-zing!! You DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY put a certain Mr L. Armstrong into the shade with your exploits, I reckon. Congrats - Great to see you walking around too. Round-lake-Taupo in 2010? I'll even pace ya! And we'll even raid that Caltex garage in Turangi for Coke and Mars bars, eh?

Love Erik and Ange and Caitlin
