The good news continues for cricket legend Chris Cairns.
Cairns, 51, is on the road to recovery from paralysis, which was the result of a spinal stroke following major heart surgery in August.
But Cairns has posted a positive update, describing what he calls "flickering" in an ankle - the first time he has felt a response in his legs since surgery.
The former Blackcaps allrounder says he is "stoked" by the "small win" in a social media post.
"Best for last…drum roll…my right ankle is flickering," Cairns says.
"Super stoked about that. Toes are the furthest point from the brain and messages are slowly making their way down to them. A fair bit to go - but these days I'm all about celebrating the small wins."
Cairns was placed on life support after suffering a tear in a major artery at his home in Canberra.
