MikeyD got his new casts put on again this Monday. now they are
saying he will be in casts for another three weeks that will now be a total of
ten weeks in casts.
We are hoping that
will be the end of the casts for good, We feel so bad for him because every
week he thinks it is going to be the last week in casts. MikeyD is eating good
and has gained Back three pounds of the twenty six pounds that he lost. He is
talking a little bit more now but his voice is still very low. Today MikeyD had
a great visit with coach Greg he delivered two great presents to MikeyD one from Kansas and one from Rhode Island. It
was two signed basketballs that all the players and coaches signed. Then MikeyD
and coach Greg started passing the ball around to each other MikeyD even showed
coach Greg his form for the 3 point shot it was really nice and made MikeyD very happy.
Tomorrow at the Bayshore 3 on 3 they are going to have a Skype
connection set up to the hospital so the kids in school at the event can speak
to MikeyD live in the hospital and he will also be able to watch the event.
They will also be posting on the blog at that time for him. Today from
the hospital I tested the connection with Mr. Botti and Donna who were at the
school.
I plan on being at the event. Ciara’s team is the turtles and
Brendan’s team is the hoops I did it again,
I need to cheer for both of them. I look forward to seeing a lot
of you tomorrow.
Keep the faith we believe in miracles.
Please keep praying and posting.
Michael,
ReplyDeleteWishing you health and success always (great photos, by the way). At Bayshore, we are very excited about the 3-on-3 tournament today---it's going to be great!!
Mr. Botti
Hi Doherty family, sorry I've been out of touch but have been reading the blog. What a great event Bayshore is putting on.... and Mikey can be a part of it, how wonderful!! I think back to the first 3 point shoot out hosted by the AWG community Mikey was in an induced coma and didn't know how much love and prayers were being sent out to him. Now he can actually see it all in action and comment on it!!!! PROGRESS!!! Still praying and believing in MIRACLES. LET'S GO MIKEY!!! YOU are the MIRACLE I BELIEVE IN...

It was a wonderful event for a wonderful family! Mike - good to see you! Moya and MikeyD - great to skype with you!!(can I use skype as a verb??) I think Bayshore School (the administrators and staff) deserve a LOT of credit for organizing all of it and making it such a well attended event! But I especially think that the whole Bayshore Community (students, and parents AND the entire staff/admin.s) really showed how much they all love you Mighty MikeyD and they are ALL praying and rooting for you to keep gaining back your health! I hope you could feel the love.

This young man is simply amazing. Nothing has made me happier than to see the pictures of his smile! Sure, the casts really stink, but that'll be behind him soon enough. To think that he is really starting to talk and get back some of his coordination is just miraculous. God bless him and his family for never losing faith. One day MikeyD will use this experience to glorify his father in heaven. Thank you Lord for this incredible healing. We pray that it is your will for a complete restoration of MikeyD at every level. We pray that you continue to bring strength to this incredible family and keep them strong in their most difficult of times.
ReplyDeleteOff to pray for MikeyD at the Healing mass!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of the Doherty family so I thought I'd pop onto the blog. I don't have much to say, but please know that you are in my daily prayers. It makes me excited to see all the progress you're making...our Lord sure is good! Keep up the hard work. Love, Megan Colantino
