Saturday night


Little MikeyD had a rough day, he had some kind of pain and because he cannot speak he is not able to tell us what is bothering him. You can see the pain in his face and body. He has not eaten in 15 days because he cannot swallow the only nutrition he has had is through the IV was thinking it could be hunger pains I only wish I knew what was making him uncomfortable. He is also getting frustrated because now that the heavy medication has been reduced he is aware of the fact that he can no longer move his arms or hands so he gets a really scared look on his face and starts to get upset when he tries to move and can't. I never knew it could be this tough to sit and watch your son suffer and not be able to do anything for him. I wish I could do something  this makes you feel totally helpless.

Please Pray for  a miracle for little Mikeyd

    We cannot imagine your frustration right now. I pray that God help you be creative with how you communicate with Mikey. Whether it be by pictures, blinking, whatever it is to make Mikey feel secure..to help him understand that you all are there to help him and see him through this recovery. I pray that God grant you the patience and again wisdom and discernment for you, the doctors and nurses. I know you won't give up...please remember that there are people who love you and are praying on your behalf. Keep the faith!!
    Love,
    Jim and Cindy

  8. I remember being sedated and not being able to speak or move my hand and my arms maybe as they decrease all of the meds he will be able..it was very frustrating because I wanted to tell the doctors and the nurses in the room to turn down the gas..they were giving me too much and I was racing and scared to death but couldnt tell them except with my eyes..I never let the doctors give me that again..Please God whatever it is...Heal our MikeyD.

    Jesus said “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored." Come Lord Jesus..we know you can do it!!!!!!

  12. At St Anthony's in Red Bank today, we prayed for Michael's recovery and for a successful end to his pain and suffering. He has been so brave. As a parent, I prayed for you and Moia to maintain the strength and the courage that you all need to be there for Michael and confront this situation every moment of every day. May all these prayers be answered quickly..

    Love,

  16. There are too many prayers being said to God for him not to answer. His miracle for Mikey will come in due time. Just believe and have faith and before you know it, he will be asking to go home. I pray every night for Mikey and for all of you to have strength during this time. We can't wait to see him again.

    Always in our prayers and in our hearts.
