He is doing ok and they are starting to talk of sending him home to continue his recovery. His speech is good but as for food we aren't sure yet what challenges we will face. At this stage he has a nasal tube for feeding and is putting on weight with this. He is in good spirits and is an absolute inspiration to me. He is ok with what has happened and I'm hoping he will continue this way. He is an incredibly brave man and I feel very lucky to have him in my life. Fingers crossed I get Steve home soon.
