Thursday Night after 4th of July


The Miracle of Mighty MikeyD came to a full circle the other day when we had to pay an unexpected visit to the Emergency room at Riverview hospital. this is where the tragic journey of Mighty MikeyD started .
It was very hard for Moya,Julia,Ciara and myself to walk through those doors of the Emergency room  again. It really hit Moya hard when she walked in and looked around where MikeyD was laying lifeless. Pretty Much everyone that works in the Emergency room at Riverview knows the story of Mighty MikeyD some knew he was coming in and some did not. You would think a celebrity walked in with all commotion going on. Lee walked over and said MikeyD you are giving me the Chills you could see the Goosebumps on his arms and the hair on his arms was standing straight up. He had never seen anyone who was gone come back and walk through the Emergency room like MikeyD just did. I think we all had the chills. Lee turned around to Nigel who was standing behind him and said see I told you keep giving him compression's  That night none of us thought MikeyD was ever coming back to us. I give all the staff at Riverview that night a lot of credit for telling someone to continue and keep going on a little boy who was gone. On behalf of my family I would like to thank all of you in the  Riverview Emergency room for everything you have done my family will be forever grateful to all of you !
My goal is to set out and make sure you do not have to see another little boy or girl come in to the emergency room DOA ever again from SCA because of the lack of  response time no AED at the basketball court etc. Thank God again for Bob and Rob MikeyD’s Guardian angels without them no chance at all. I will be going to Trenton soon to make sure we have  AED’s even if it is a portable one at every sporting event. Also all people involved in sports should have to be  CPR certified and AED certified. This must become a law it will save a lot of children.
I am certified it does not take a lot of your time and is well worth it. I would ask everyone here with us on the blog and the care pages to myself and yourself a favor get certified. I will be putting something together in September for friends and family. You can look for a local Red Cross in your area if in the USA.
Red Cross First Aid, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automated external defibrillator) training and certification meets the needs of workplace responders, professional rescuers school staffs, professional responders and healthcare providers, as well as the general public. We offer both certified and non-certified training options.
Little MikeyD is going through some Speech and OT evaluations today.
We really need to get MikeyD back to the great people at Bayshore and Middletown where he belongs.
He keeps fighting every day to relearn to do little things he never gives up.
He went through so much yet he keeps smiling.
We thank you God for  your Miracle of returning Little MikeyD back to us.
We promise to save other children one at a time.
Remember We believe in miracles.

Please keep praying and posting for MikeyD

    Definitely a very important message to get out there to get CPR certified. I did it a few years ago and it only took a few hours. People need to realize that what they learn on the Red Cross CPR course, will probably be one of the best and most important things they will ever learn. A few hours can help save a life. We are so happy to hear that Mikey is making amazing progress and it was inspiring to hear he went back to Bayshore School for a visit. Keep up the hard work Mikey. Never, ever give up. Hope Peanut is bahaving himself! Big hugs to you. Love, Angela, Joe and Patrick XXX

    Each time we read this blog we see the power of prayer! A miracle in progress that at times seems long and drawn out. That is until you step back and look at you blog with open eyes!
    MikeyD has come so far and touched so many in less than one year. Yes he has a few hills in front of him but He will get there one step at a time.
    Always in our prayers
    Linda, Mike & Mary

  11. Another amazingly inspirational post Mike! God Bless Lee and Nigel! The Miracle in Sneaker's story has so many miracles, so many answered prayers ... because of this tragedy we have all been blessed to read about a kid and a family and all the caregivers who never gave up. THANKS BE TO GOD! Mighty MikeyD - you are doing so many things that so many people prayed for. Now we will pray to see you back at a familiar place - Bayshore - and to have all the support you need to have a full recovery! Big Mike - I think it's great that you have become an advocate and are giving your time and voice to help prevent SCA and to promote CPR training. Prayers and love and positive energy continue to be sent to the entire Doherty Family! -The Cassin Jr. Family
