Tuesday Night

Now that MikeyD is starting to talk it is much easier to know what he needs and when he is in pain where the pain is. Even though he is not talking much and it is low and hard to understand you can ask him again and he will tell you. The other night at 2AM he said I am cold I got him another blanket right away ,I now wonder how many nights he was cold in the last two months and could not tell us. then at 4 AM he said Pain in my back even though it is not good that he has pain in his back it is good that he can tell us so we can help him. Thank you God for letting us start to hear his voice again ! We are praying that his speech will continue to come back and improve everyday

I feel like we are onto the next phase of recovery which will be learning how to walk and feed himself.

MikeyD has 2 new cast on his legs he has two more weeks of casts to go now for a total of six weeks.

originally it was supposed to be three weeks so that is a setback.

Hopefully in two more weeks the cast will be off for good then he has to learn how to walk all over again.

we can't wait for the cast to come off his legs are getting smaller and smaller and weaker  form the atrophy.

Every day that you are not weigh bearing and laying around causes many other problems with your legs, feet and back.

as well as learning to walk again MikeyD will need to learn how to feed himself and brush his teeth. We hope that he will regain full control of both hands and arms. The pain in his legs seems to be easing he only gets cramps in his left leg now and not the right. MikeyD had a lot of laughs with the company that came to see him last weekend. If you can come visit Mikeyd it will be greatly appreciated he really does love the company and it really cheers him up.

Keep the faith and believe in miracles.

Please keep Praying and Posting.

O ever-Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy,
health of the sick, refuge of sinners,
comforter of the afflicted,
you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings;
look with mercy on me.

By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,
you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary,
whence you dispense your favors;
and already many sufferers have obtained
the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.

I come, therefore, with complete confidence
to implore your maternal intercession.

Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests.
Through gratitude for your favors,
I will endeavor to imitate your virtues,
that I may one day share your glory. Amen.
