Friday Night

The MikeyD 3 on 3 basketball tournament at Bayshore yesterday was a great event.

MikeyD was in the hospital in the bed with the laptop and everyone at Bayshore got to see  him via Skype.

My family and I would like to thank everyone involved.

Tonight I told MikeyD that a lot of people were praying for him again at the healing mass. We said our prayers at 8 PM  and when we were done he looked at me and said please tell everyone at the healing mass I wish I could be there with them. Moya was at the healing mass tonight and she called me and said it was very uplifting and spiritual. Peggy she asked me to let you know she was sorry she did not get to speak with you .It really is a miracle this little boy who barely escaped death 3 months ago was gone, came back and a few weeks ago he could not even swallow,eat or speak can now look at me and say please tell everyone I wih I could be there with them. Over 97% of people who suffer a traumatic brain injury like MikeyD's do not recover like this. I know it is because thousands of you have come together and have been praying for him we cannot thank all of you enough. MikeyD is really getting strong now he started using his left hand pretty good now last week  he was moving his wheel chair forward and back with one hand in the same spot I asked him what are you doing you are only moving back and forth a little bit with one hand and you are not going anywhere he said I am working on building the  strength in my left arm tonight he is able to go all around the hospital in his wheel chair using both arms and making turns he feels independent being able to roll the halls without having to have someone push him around. When the nurse came into to give him his shots tonight she asked him where do you want it they move them around from left leg to right leg and in his stomach because of the bruises tonight he told her to give him the needle in the stomach she asked  him doesn’t that hurt a lot to get the needle  in the stomach ? he looked at her and said yes it does but I just take it like a man. every day now MikeyD is making progress and the doctors I speak with are amazed at his recovery he is doing things that Moya and I were told he would never be able to do.

God Bless all of you for your continued  prayers for MikeyD and continued  support for my family !

Keep the faith We believe in Miracles ! (we are witnessing them)

Please keep Praying and posting.

Unfailing Prayer to St. Anthony

"Blessed be God in His angels and in His saints."

O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, you love for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for me A Full Recovery for MikeyD that he will be able to run and play with his friends again one day like he use to. The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.

O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
