Sunday night December 22nd Merry Christmas to all of you !






 The Christmas Miracle continues. Mighty MikeyD the Miracle in sneakers has come a long way in the past year and he still has a long way to go. This time last year he was getting ready to come home from the Hospital in his new wheelchair. We are sad that he is still in the Children’s Specialized Hospital as an outpatient and not back at Bayshore with his friends, however we know it is the best place for him to be right now at this crucial stage of his recovery. We are Happy and Blessed that he is still with us. We know that MikeyD has been to Heaven and back at his young age he told Moya all about it but that is a story for another day. A friend of ours had taken their daughter to CHOP for some testing when they were there they said to the doctor the reason we came here was because you saved MikeyD. The doctor said oh you know MikeyD and they said yes. The doctor said we did not save MikeyD that was an intervention from a higher power. They said an Angel came down from Heaven and saved MikeyD. We read through the Postings from last Christmas the other night it is some great powerful Christmas reading for all of us. All those posts from all of you last Christmas helped us through this past year. As we look back and reflect over the year that has gone we are thankful for all of you and your prayers and support for our family.  From all the Doherty family to all of you and your families we wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year !!!

  1. We wish the entire Doherty Family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! Ciara, that is a very powerful video, it is amazing to see the photos and video from this past year. Keep fighting MikeyD! God has kept you here on earth with us for a reason - we are blessed to have a living miracle boy in our community! You've always had that sparkle in your eyes that is contagious and you bring great joy to the world! I am glad that you go back and read the old posts - I've done that too. Those days in September and October 2012 were so scary. I love it that the Doctor at CHOP acknowledges that Mighty MikeyD defied the scientists and was blessed by one of God's Angles! I believe in the power of prayer, and I still pray for you every day MikeyD!! I pray that next year we'll all look back the way we are doing now and that we'll again be amazed and grateful for all the progress you've made! Much love and prayers and positive energy to MikeyD and his entire family. And a very Happy New Year too! Barbara, Bob, Robert and Allie Cassin

  2. Merry Christmas to Mike and the entire Doherty family. You are all an inspiration to the rest of us. To hug, or touch Mikey's hand, is to touch a miracle from God. Our faith in reaffirmed and strengthened by the life of this wonderful boy and his devoted, loving family. I wish you all the best for a Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year. Carol Force

  3. Praising God and Thanking God for ALL He has blessed us with, answering our prayers and giving us the MikeyD Miracle here in Middletown! Every time I see MikeyD I feel I am in the presence of a True Miracle. He has a presence that lights up the room and fills the room with a love that everyone can feel. The video is awesome and Ciara did a great job showing how far MikeyD has come in such a short time. I look forward to hearing the whole MikeyD story in MikeyD's words. My prayer of thanksgiving will forever include MikeyD and the whole Doherty family for inspiring us to deep prayer and for showing us the true meaning of family and community and faith. May you have a blessed Christmas and year filled with many miracles.

    Merry Christmas Mike to you and your family. It has been a long but productive year for Mikey. I wish we knew my MikeyD isn't back with his friends at Bayshore. God hasn't given you that reason yet. He will at the right time! That is when everything will become clearer..
    God Bless your family and Merry Christmas!
    Love & Prayers
    Linda, Mike & Mary

    There has not been a day that has gone by that I haven't prayed for MikeyD, his doctors, caregivers and wonderful, supportive, faithful family. I thank God for His healing powers, I thank God for all of the good that MikeyD has done since he continues to be an inspiration and role model for all of us. Thank you for letting me share your blog with family and friends who also care and continue to pray for MikeyD. Many blessings to you this Christmas and always. Love, Diane

    I haven't seen these posts for ages, I think I missed a few. I saw MikeyD today, sloping past the house with Mike Sully and it struck me how absolutely amazing it was to see these two friends strolling around the block, shooting the breeze.
    MikeyD has an amazing story to tell and as you say there is more to be told. He is doing great, even though he can't wait to be at Bayshore he is making so much improvement in the Children's Specialized Hospital. He'll be stronger for it.
    2014 will be an even bigger year for MikeyD. Amazing kid, amazing family. xoxo
