Friday Morning

MikeyD got his cast off on Monday again and was fitted for Leg Braces he will need these to learn how to walk again and may need them for a long time. This is the countdown to hopefully the end of a long 10 week casting process two more weeks to go. MikeyD said I have two more weeks to go and then  these bad boys come off he is looking forward to it. Hopefully the week before Christmas they will be gone for good.

MikeyD also asked me tonight why he has to have this Defibrillator in his chest for the rest of his life because it is lumpy and sore he said, I tried to explain to him that the soreness should go away but the lump in your chest will not I also tried to explain that you heart is fine now and that it is there just as a precaution.

it is really hard to explain all  this to a 12 year old boy who a few months ago was healthy as a horse and playing sports pitching in All Star Baseball games and shooting hoops for five different teams and then  he wakes up out of a coma in a broken down body .

Despite all of this he is defying all odds last week coach Greg came to visit MikeyD and we had to push him down the halls this week MikeyD cannot sit still and pushes himself down the hall. Today Dr Y seen MikeyD in the gym and shook his head in disbelief after watching what MikeyD can accomplish compared to looking at his brain scan on an MRI. Dr. Y walked over to Moya and said it is amazing what this little boy can do he is so strong and he is defying all odds. According to the MRI he should and could not be doing what he is doing. Believe it or not a lot of the doctors follow the MikeyD blog and are on care pages and they read the post everyday they will tell you MikeyD is the fighter and he is a true miracle boy.

He did say that he will need intense Cognitive therapy after this which they do not offer. Believe me Moya and I will find him the best Cognitive therapy we can find no matter what. Believe it or since my post Tuesday night we have saved one kid maybe two as of next week after their parents read the blog and or the care pages they had the kids screened one was not allowed to play basketball anymore and one is waiting for further test results I will take one for now and one later. I know God saved MikeyD  for a reason to go on to do great things not sure of the whole how and why right now but I will accept him saving one life at a time slowly for now as a sign from above.

Please keep the faith and believe in miracles.

Please keep praying and posting.

Please continue to visit MikeyD he needs all the company he can get right now.

God Bless.

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.
