Saturday Night



What a great Thanksgiving. Even though we had our family Thanksgiving dinner in a hospital it was really nice. The Auditorium which is the room we had booked was just perfect. We would like to thank everyone for coming. My sister Diane had the great idea to have all the kids wear their shooting 3’s for Mighty MikeyD shirts. Mighty MikeyD was so happy to see all his cousins that he wanted to get out of the wheelchair we took him out and he started crawling around on the floor to be with his cousins that is also how we got the family photo above of all the cousins. The Fighter as he is known around here and CHOP is really determined to get moving again he was wearing basketball shorts and even though his knees were red and getting torn up he did not want to go back in the wheelchair. Uncle Seamus picked MikeyD up stood behind him to hold him up and even had him take a few steps walking with the casts on, it is hard to beat a kid that never gives up. God bless Mighty MikeyD the fighter !!!!

Then on Friday night Mikeyd had a great visit from the AWG group about 25 members showed up for a huddle it was AWGsome. Thank you guys for coming to see MikeyD did you see the glow on his face ? It really meant a lot to him you guys really made him so happy and we all had a lot of fun.

Keep the Faith We believe in Miracles.

Please keep praying and posting

Prayer for today.
In our culture today, people are used to getting things right away. We’ve been programmed for immediacy. People don’t like to wait. But the scripture says, “It’s through faith and patience that we inherit God’s promises.” Sometimes, it’s easy for people to have faith. We declare, God, I believe I’m going to accomplish my dreams. God, I believe I’m going to overcome this obstacle. But, it gets harder when you have to walk in patience. When you pray, can you say, “God, I not only believe in big things for little MikeyD, but I trust Your timing. God, I’m not going to get discouraged that a full recovery doesn’t happen for little MikeyD immediately. I’m not going to give up because it’s taken a week, a month or five years. I know the set time is already in little MikeyD’s future, so I’m going to wait with faith and patience because I know that you have a full recovery  on the way for little MikeyD.”
Remember, through faith and patience we inherit His promises. Trust His Word, trust His timing and trust that God has little MikeyD’s recovery  on its way!

    Couldn't have said it better! Thanks for allowing us in to witness God's never ending glory and miracle. When we all get together Gods blessings on all especially Mikey is clear. He is an inspiration to all of us and a reminder of Gods never ending love and power. Prayer for miracles at Gods will and time.

    He is a precious reminder to all that no matter how hard life is with God at our side nothing will keep us from rebounding stronger in life , faith and health! Kiss Moya Kira and Julia for us

    What a fantastic update to read. It really lifts your heart to see MikeyD's progress. No way will he give up ever. It must have been great for him to see everyone up for Thanksgiving. It is pretty amazing to see that shot of Mikey with all his cousins. You have to look to see the casts.

    We pray for Mikey and you all all the time. We love to hear the great news that is starting to happen and look forward to hearing more of it. Love Mike, Pauline, Michael and Ethan xoxo

  11. St. Marys is having another Healing Mass this Friday night November 30th..at 7:30 and like the last Healing Mass we are trying to have many children come and be prayed over for MikeyD..You stand in for MikeyD here and the Priest prays over you for MikeyD..

    As we know, Prayer is very Powerful and we Believe in Miracles and We know who the Healer IS..Come Lord Jesus Heal....

    Friday night Healing Mass for Mikey..come and be prayed over for MikeyD. St. Marys..Mary Mother of God Church..

    Also, November 30th is the Feast of St. Andrew..If you say this prayer 15 times a day..starting Friday November 30 and ending on Christmas Day Miracles Happen..I know I have done it...

    Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.
