Day 9 Morning


Saturday morning- The doctors started taking MikeyD off all sedation last night. He is kicking like a mule when he wakes up. He has gained the use of his lower body from the hips down. He does not have use of his arms yet from the attack so he tries to compensate with his legs. He has been trying to get out of bed by throwing his legs over the bars on the side of the bed. He can respond by shaking his head but still cannot talk. We need to pray to God for recovery of his speech, upper body strength, arm movement and control. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers, it reminds us in hard times that people care and it means a lot to us.

Please keep posting.
for some reason a lot of people cannot post to this site so we will include the link to care pages here and this site on Care pages http://www.carepages.com/carepages/MikeyD/messages

  11. Mike,Maire,
    We pray that the Holy Spirit keep you and your family strong, and patient. That Mikey D continue to heal. We pray for a full recovery of speech, uppper body movement, control, and most of all peach for Mikey D. That he can not only hear you and Maire, but understand that he is recovering and in good hands. Matthew 8:8
    The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed." (NIV)

  14. Dear Mike, Moye, Julia, Ciara and Mikey,

    You have ALL been in our prayers constantly!! Your strength and outreach to friends and family during this difficult time is empowering and so much appreciated!! We can't even begin to tell you how much it means to everyone that you set up this blog so that all of your family and friends may be a part of Mikey's recovery! The power of prayer and unification is immeasurable!!! ALWAYS know that we are here for you and that God is with you!!!

    We continue to pray that Mikey regains his speech and upper body movement! Seeing what he is now doing with his lower half (compared to just a few days ago)shows us how strong he is and what a fighter he is!!!

    Hey there Mikey! We have known you since you were just a little "tot" and no doubt through the years you have proved what a WINNER you are and how much you love to win! This challenge you are facing right now is your biggest "game" ever!!! Keep on fighting the fight!!! Go for the "swoosh" of the basketball net! Hit the baseball out of the "ballpark"! Catch and run that football down the field into the endzone for a "touchdown"
    so you can do your "victory" dance! You have the BIGGEST cheering section rooting for you now more than ever before!!!
    GOOOOOO Mikey D!!!!

    With all our love and prayers,
    Mr. and Mrs. Hilfiker, China, Will and Harris xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
