Sunday Afternoon Feb 17th

Mighty MikeyD had a good week.

MikeyD continues to improve and get better every week.

This week Moya and I went to the Children’s Specialized hospital in Mountainside to see MikeyD in what they  call a Hot Seat. That is where they work with the kids in the cognitive rehabilitation program where they come up with a goal and a plan for improvement on the goal.  The student who is in the hot seat  has to sit in the front of the class and speak to all the teachers, therapists and the other students about their goal and plan for improvement. All the therapist, students and teachers also speak to the student in the Hot Seat.

MikeyD did a great job we were so proud of him.

All the therapists and teachers told how much they love his smile and they all can’t believe the sense of humor he has after all he has been through. MikeyD has to go back to CHOP every six weeks for follow up appointments we became friend with a lot of doctors and nurses there. I sent one of the doctors a picture of MikeyD sleigh riding he couldn’t believe it. He had seen little MikeyD when he was in a coma and also seen him after that when his upper body was paralyzed  he could not use his hands or his arms or hold his head up. He emailed me back when are you going to be back at CHOP I told him the end of March if you are available we would like to see you. The doctor replied “I will make myself available - this is a miracle - you must have a direct line to God!!!”

We would like to thank all of you our family, friends and neighbors for all of your prayers and support the healing masses, the AWG group, the green ribbons , St. Mary’s parish, the Shoot outs and Bayshore school each and every one of you have contributed to this miracle in sneakers.

Speaking of shoot outs I received an email last week from Jim Curti that St. Mary’s SMAA and MYAA basketball are going to have a first ever All-Star game in Honor of MikeyD next Sunday Febuary 24^th at Mater Dei Memorial Hall at first I heard they were going to have 2 games now I heard they were adding a third game for the girls. The 4^th and 5^th grade boys game will be at 3 PM and the 6^th and 7^th grade boys game will be at 4:30 pm as soon as I find out what time the girls game will be I will post it. This will be a great day for MikeyD since he  played basketball for both organizations and his cousin Brendan will be playing in the game along with a bunch of friends that he played with at SMAA and MYAA who will be playing against each other. Come see us at the game we will be taking bets on the side as to who will win. We also have a wheelchair for sale in which we will be taking bids on I think Jim Rooney really wants the wheelchair and he will be the highest bidder on eBay.

Another Day !!!

MikeyD would like to say Thank you God for giving me another day, another chance to become a better individual, another chance to give and experience love. Thank you God for giving me health, for the food you provide, for the awareness you have awaken in me...Thank you for the energy that feeds my soul, the sun that warms our bodies and the air that fills our lungs... Because of you I believe in the good without the bad and the ugly, because of you I am learning to love and accept myself, because of you I believe in believing. My source, stay connected to me today and always, for I need you in order to fullfil my spiritual tasks...God, show me how to love myself, to be able to love others. Help me become the type of person that I would like to befriend, help me forgive myself and forgive others... God, make me a channel of your energy and help me understand. I thank you God for giving me another day, another unused opportunity to do it right. Keep us all close to you and listen to our prayers.Amen. 

We Believe in Miracles !!!
