From Elkton, Maryland
Oh the address for where Mike is: Sunbridge Care and Rehabilation
1 Price Drive
Elkton, MD 21921
Price Dr. is located off of Whitehall Road in Elkton. Very near Mike's home and Fair Hill Training Center.
Mike's family created this blog to acknowledge our heartfelt appreciation for all your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes since his accident. Please check back regularly for updates on his condition and recovery process. We know all of you will keep Mike and his family in your prayers!
On June 16, 2006, Mike was doing what he loves most in the world~training a race horse! One minute, friends saw him go by at a full gallop. Thirty minutes later, he was found unconscious and barely breathing. Mike endured an emergency helicopter ride to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Unit where doctors determined he had suffered a severe brain injury and was placed in ICU in critical condition. After three weeks, Mike was transferred to Kernan Rehabilitation Center, then Sunbridge Care and Rehabilitation. He returned home in October ‘06 and continues to work on his recovery. We have experienced much hope and joy as we have witnessed Mike's miraculous journey towards recovery. Mike IS A MIRACLE (the exact words of his neurologist) and continues to surprise his health care providers. Mike faces each day with courage, faith and perseverance; his new job consisting of physical therapy and theraputic riding. Mike is currently undergoing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and is experiencing great progress! FOR THOSE WHO HAVE OFFERED ASSISTANCE, A "MIKE REA RECOVERY RELIEF FUND" HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO HELP WITH MIKE'S MEDICAL AND DAILY NEEDS.

Wonderful news! I'm so glad that Mike is making such tremendous progress! And, I think that, now, with outings allowed, Mike's recovery is going to really take off! What better motivation to get home!
I'm sooooo happy for you all!
Much love,

Fantastic news! Not only is Mike close to home, but will actually be able to get "out and about" sometimes. That will surely be a great help in making him even more eager to get better, faster!
Thanks for keeping up the blog even when internet access has been difficult, and time is precious. Prayers for continued progress each day for Mike, and continued strength for all of you.
Mike & Family -- So glad to hear about your new place, and a "roomn With a View!" Good luck with the daily therapies and enjoy the beginnings of new outings. Should be a good year for fall color -- that you can enjoy from a local ice cream stand!
Wishing you all the best,
Susan in Saratoga
Mike and Family,
I'm very happy for you and the progress you've made! It's fantastic. It seems that you and Barbaro are both allowed outings now!!! You have so much to be grateful for. Enjoy the upcoming fall color from your window and make a trip to a cider mill.
Kindest regards
Wendy in Michigan
