Wonderful Update:



From Mikey's Dad, Monday 3-27 6:00pm
It's a lot easier for Mikey to smile now, without all that "hardware" in his nose and throat. And he has a lot more to smile about, too. He's still steadily improving. His chest sounds better and he's more active. Mikey says, "Hello everybody.. I love you.. guys!". His voice is just a whisper, but he's been gabbin' all day... now THAT'S the Mikey we know!

                        

        04-09-00 Mikey sang in church today!!

       He still has no voice, but raised his hand
       when asked who wanted to sing,
       and sang the whole song in a whisper.

       I agree with his Dad, who says,
        "We are sure God heard him."

04-15-00 Another serious setback. Mikey is back in the hospital on full support. Heart failure, pneumonia, internal bleeding. He has been comatose most of the week, but at 12:20 today, he DID respond! His blood gasses are improving, but he is still on the ventilator, and his little heart has not yet begun to beat again on its own. Please pray for this very brave little warrior, who has fought so many battles in his young life. (Link above still works for updates.)

We won't know the particulars on the next pacemaker implant until at least Monday. He's back on some powerful medication for his heart through IVs. After Mikey's "turn" today, he was out for a good 6 hours or more, BUT...
Mikey woke up this evening, sat straight up in bed and asked to see a video. This is quite remarkable. We just started the video and he wanted it stopped, so he could SING for everyone. Mikey sees his web site on the overhead TV in his PICU room, and when he wants to say something to the many people who are praying for him, we let him do it. And in this case, he wants to sing for you. His voice is weak and he has to take a breath frequently, but here is Mikey's song. Thank you, Lord!

Mikey is getting anxious to go home, and he should get his wish soon. He's still eating good and his oxygen saturation is good. He's getting lots of exercise, walking up and down the halls of the hospital. Mikey says, "Hi, everybody! I'm gettin' better. I'm gonna go home pretty soon!".





Mikey, Sunday 06-04-00
We've come a long way from here, and here, to today. And Mikey's paralyzed vocal chords have come a long ways from here and here to today. God IS good. It's amazing to look back at the pictures and updates over the past 3 months and see how far Mikey has come, and how much he has overcome and what miracles that God has worked for him... and how many prayers were answered. Mikey was in church today and sang for the people again at Evangel Temple.. and he took the microphone and thanked God for healing his heart and he even thanked God for helping the doctors and showing them how to fix his heart. Many people were visibly moved and we were all blessed by his testimony. Thank you, Lord!
