Thursday Night October 24th


Mighty MikeyD the Miracle in Sneakers continues every day to fight the good fight. He never ever gives up.
He fights hard every day to get better. He tries every day to tie his own shoes and even though he can't do it yet he tries again and again day after day. Most people would give up by now not MikeyD. He is a little boy with Big Courage! He struggles everyday with little things from the traumatic brain injury but yet he never complains. he is trying to learn real hard how to read and write again. his long term memory is getting better but his short term memory is a real battle. We were hoping that MikeyD would be returning to Bayshore sometime after Thanksgiving but unfortunately  the hospital said he is not ready to leave anytime soon. MikeyD had a great surprise visit his grandmother Bridie, his Aunt Mauve and cousin Adrienne came from Ireland to pay him a surprise visit he was in Ireland with them just a few days before that night of September 7th, that was the last time they had seen him it was great for all of us to see them.Then this Sunday after mass was great for MikeyD  Father Carlos came over to him and gave him a big five minute hug he held MikeyD and said you are a true walking miracle my son. It was great for us to see the smile on MikeyD and father Carlos faces. Father Carlos use to call me all the time when we were in CHOP. November 6th the great people of Bayshore School are having the annual MikeyD 3 ON 3 Basketball Tournament we are all looking forward to that.
It means a lot to everyone in my family. Thank You everyone at Bayhore for remembering MikeyD ! I would also like to let everyone know about a free CPR training offered by Janet Fund that will be held right here in Colts Neck at the Team Life office.
Team Life does CPR and AED training they also sell Cardiac Science portable AED’s which are the best on the market.
Janet was MikeyD’s age when she suffered a Sudden Cardiac arrest while Cheerleading and unfortunately she did not make it.
Janet’s family is offering this from her foundation.
Please pass this along to everyone that you can. The more of us that are trained to save lives the better. I did it believe me it is not hard you will be surprised. It is next Tuesday October 29th at 6PM
291 Route 34 Colts Neck                     The Janet Fund is proud to offer its first ever free CPR class in Colts Neck.  We have partnered with Team life to bring you this great event and hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to learn how to save a life.

  6. Hi Doherty Family!! We continue to pray for MikeyD each and every day! We thank God for all the miracles of the past and continue to pray for his complete recovery! Mighty Mike is such an inspiration to me and to others. It is heartwarming to read that he works so hard and does not complain.
    I can't wait to see you at the MikeyD 3v3 tournament on Nov. 6th! When I think back to seeing MikeyD in the hospital via Skype last year during the tournament ... it is truly amazing how far he has come!! And I, too, am thankful for the many wonderful people at Bayshore including Mrs. Siegel and the office staff -- I got a few new "Mighty Mike" red and blue silicone bracelets when I was there last week. It is such a worthy cause and the kids have a good time. I keep praying that MikeyD will return real soon to the familiar halls of Bayshore.
    Tons of love and positive energy and prayers from Barbara, Bob, Robert and Allie Cassin
