Operation Air-Lift and Confirmation !


Mighty MikeyD has a busy week this week. He got up at 4 AM on  Tuesday morning to head for Disney World with the State Police ! Every year the NJ State Police take a few children that have been very sick to Disney world for the day. They flew out of the State Police hanger in Ewing Township Early Tuesday morning and fly back late the same night. Wednesday Was a  very big day for MikeyD we all had a day that we never thought we would have Thanks to God and Peggy Dunne MikeyD Made his confirmation  sitting next to his cousin Brendan. Who would of thought one year ago that MikeyD would be able to make his confirmation. Peggy we will never be able to thank you enough for what you have done for MikeyD it was so Awesome to see him make his confirmation.
Please see note from Father Carlos that made us all feel great!
Congratulations Michael "Joseph" on your confirmation day. Your lifted up our hearts and spirits to God even higher today when we saw you proceeding into Church with the other teens. Mikey You are a living sign for all of us of how true and real the power of prayer is. Mikey my brother keep up the good work and know that you and your family continue to be in my prayers. May God bless us all and may Saint Joseph intercede for us all.”

 The doctors have also taken MikeyD off some of his medication and we have seen a major improvement. He was taking medication for muscle spasms caused by the traumatic brain injury, We had no idea how bad the side effects were from that medicine. MikeyD is talking and walking much better, in  the last few weeks we have seen a major recovery.
We are trying very hard to get MikeyD back to Bayshore for a day or two a week before the end of the year to start his transition back for next year.
We will keep you posted.
 It is a shame they left him out of the yearbook at Bayshore School.
I guess the old saying is true out of sight is out of mind they forgot all about MikeyD.
The screening will be bigger and better that ever.
Please keep spreading the word about the screening.
Right now it looks like it will be in September.
This will also give The MikeyD Foundation more time to raise the funds needed to screen all the Children.
We will keep you posted here and at www.mightymikeyd.com
You can Congratulate MikeyD on his confirmation right here.
We Believe in Miracles !!!

Please keep praying and posting for MikeyD !!!

    Congratulations on making your Confirmation, Mikey! May God bless you always. Keep working hard - it is certainly paying off. Hope you had a wonderful day at Disney.
    We think you need your own special yearbook - one that details all of your amazing accomplishments over the last twenty months. It would help give so many other people hope :) Keep smiling!
    Love,

    Mary saw you coming out of Confirmation. She was so excited for Mikey. We all were excited!
    I am so glad that they changed his medication too. It is a huge step when you realize the side effects are a lot of the problem!!
    It is sad that they left him out of the yearbook! He will just have to write his own book. A book that will help other kids just like Mikey!
    As always you are in our prayers!

  7. God Bless You MikeyD! Congratulations on your Confirmation!! I think Peggy Dunne is one of your earthly angles and may God Bless her too!! Wow, the Doherty family must have been exhausted by Wednesday night. I hope the trip to Disney was 'magical' and a happy day! And I am so glad to hear that some of the challenges you've been battling are now in the rearview mirror. And as far as the yearbook goes ... well, I think I'll just make a special MikeyD page and get out my hot glue gun and put it into Robert's yearbook!! You let me know if I need to print 600 more ;-) ! I can't wait to help with the screenings in the Fall! MikeyD - please know that you continue to be in our prayers and our thoughts!
    Again, congratulations! Barbara, Bob, Robert and Allie Cassin
