Tuesday afternoon


MikeyD is out of surgery and in the recovery room.

Dr. Vetter came in and sat with us to go over everything that happened during the surgery she said everything went great except for one problem that she has never seen since she has been here and she has been here for a long long time.

She said they could not get him into CA to test the unit.

She could not believe it. She did say they have good reading on the unit so it should be fine and also that it is a good sign not a bad one that they could not get him into a CA.

Another miracle that all of you prayers are working.

We still have a very long road please keep the thought and prayers coming for Mighty MikeyD

  3. It is always good to ask tons of questions. Never leave any stone unturned. Parents are a child's biggest and best advocate. We are all still praying for you and all these good signs will lead him home.

    Always sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.

  5. I am a middletown resident and although dont really remember Mikey, am praying for him. I think our boys played ball togetehr at some point. I work for a pharmaceutical company and would like to offer something that may be helpful. THere is a rare orphan disease out there called Fabry disease that is typically misdiognosed. Many of the symptons of this disease are Afib, arithmia and often GI sytmptons. It may be worth asking for a genetic counsler to test for Fabry disease. A mechanism of treatment here is enzyme relacement therapy. Not to many people understand the cause of this, and typically late onset symptons (like what Mikey experienced, are often too late)
    You may want to inquire. We are paying everyday for Mikey to recover quickly.

  9. That is awesome news! I was overcome with joy when I read it! I echo the sentiment that I hope you and Moya and your whole family will get some rest. And that MikeyD will continue on a path of strength and healing. The prayers, I know, will continue and you should never feel alone in all of this!
    So very happy it went well today! Mighty MikeyD's story is an amazing one! Keep the faith.
    With prayers, love and positive energy,

  18. I am so glad that Michael has made such strides. He is quite an amazing boy. My mother told me something today that I thought I would share with you. She said that whenever she feels that she needs a bit of courage or inner strength, she looks down at her Mighty Mike bracelet, thinks of all of you, and knows she can and will do whatever it is that she has to do. Your entire family is inspiring so many people, even people such as my mother, who has only met Michael once or twice. You have our prayers each and every day. And thank you for this blog; the victories that you share, touch us all very deeply.

    Much love,

    Marla Provenzano (and the rest of my gang)
