The MikeyD 3 on 3 basketball tournament at Bayshore yesterday was a great event.
MikeyD was in the
hospital in the bed with the laptop and everyone at Bayshore got to see
him via Skype.
My family and I would like to thank everyone involved.
Tonight I told
MikeyD that a lot of people were praying for him again at the healing mass. We
said our prayers at 8 PM and when we were done he looked at me and said
please tell everyone at the healing mass I wish I could be there with them.
Moya was at the healing mass tonight and she called me and said it was very
uplifting and spiritual. Peggy she asked me to let you know she was sorry she
did not get to speak with you .It really is a miracle this little boy who
barely escaped death 3 months ago was gone, came back and a few weeks ago he
could not even swallow,eat or speak can now look at me and say please tell
everyone I wih I could be there with them. Over 97% of people who suffer a traumatic
brain injury like MikeyD's do not recover like this. I know it is because
thousands of you have come together and have been praying for him we cannot
thank all of you enough. MikeyD is really getting strong now he started using
his left hand pretty good now last week he was moving his wheel chair
forward and back with one hand in the same spot I asked him what are you doing
you are only moving back and forth a little bit with one hand and you are not
going anywhere he said I am working on building the strength in my left
arm tonight he is able to go all around the hospital in his wheel chair using
both arms and making turns he feels independent being able to roll the halls
without having to have someone push him around. When the nurse came into to
give him his shots tonight she asked him where do you want it they move them
around from left leg to right leg and in his stomach because of the bruises
tonight he told her to give him the needle in the stomach she asked him doesn’t
that hurt a lot to get the needle in the stomach ? he looked at her and
said yes it does but I just take it like a man. every day now MikeyD is making
progress and the doctors I speak with are amazed at his recovery he is doing
things that Moya and I were told he would never be able to do.
God Bless all of
you for your continued prayers for MikeyD and continued support for
my family !
Keep the faith We believe
in Miracles ! (we are witnessing them)
Please keep
Praying and posting.
Unfailing Prayer to St. Anthony
"Blessed
be God in His angels and in His saints."
O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of
Saints, you love for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when
on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you
were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this
thought, I implore of you to obtain for me A Full Recovery for MikeyD that he
will be able to run and play with his friends again one day like he use to. The answer to my prayer may require a
miracle, even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.
O gentle and loving St.
Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into
the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and
the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
