The Latest

Mike continues to do well. He is officially over his pneumonia!!! His breathing is good. His neck strength is continuing to get better. He is able to hold his head upright for longer periods of time now. We had a great weekend at the Ranch. The kids really showed off for "dad" showing him how they played soccer. We brought pumpkins for Mike's room and lots of new pictures for him. Please continue to keep Mike in your prayers.

Update from October 10th

Mike had a doctor appointment this Wednesday, October 8th. He is now up to 152lbs. His lungs sounded great. His swallowing is continuing to get better. The doctor stated that they are going to try having Mike wear a patch over one of his eyes to possibly help with his neck. The doctor said that sometimes patients hold their head to one side when they experience double vision so they are going to try this and see if there is any improvement. All of Mike's therapist agree that Mike is tolerating his therapy great and are very pleased. Last weekend was an excellent visit. Mike SMILED at Baylee!!!!
