From Tim Woolley's Racing Site
Just wanted everyone to see this from TWR site. I was checking on Barbaro and saw this. Hope you enjoy. God bless.

Barbaro must be listening a minute or two
To Horse Angels Secretariat and Seattle Slew
It is too soon to join us Secretariat said
Therefore you need now to listen instead.
Continue your healing and being patiently calm
Your positive attitude is the best healing balm
They're are saying you're smart and we have to agree
But what else should we expect with your great pedigree.
We have races in heaven and a whole lot of fun
But it is too soon to join us; your job is not done.
You will see that we all must have our own Triple Crown
Yours might be through your foals or even greater renown.
You have made safety in racing a cause celebrate
That might be your achievement at the end of your day
Or there might be another Triple Crown with you son
So even not on a course there're still races to run.
But whatever your job is, your success is confirmed
Because we know you are one of us chimed in Affirmed.
For you see we know that you are one of us and great
Even though your own Triple Crown was stolen by fate.
We'll be watching you closely to see you don't falter
While hearing the prayers offered here at our altar
For there are so many more legends with us up here
With us watching over you, you have nothing to fear.
You can also tell Mike Rea that we are all praying
So he will recover soon and restart his training
Cause we know that he loves horses and misses them too
Tell him that next time in the saddle to use crazy glue.

Hooray to Mike for removing the tummy tube. A milestone day. I check in from TWR almost every day... am humbled by how loving your family is and how generous they are replying to our comments when they have so much to do.
You are all an inspiration. I really like seeing the comments from people who have family who've had similar injuries and how they healed, just like you are, each and every day. Must feel great to have others showing the possibilities -- just like you'll be able to do some day when you are 100%.
The body is a wonderful mirace in the making, carried on the wings of beauty, born knowing how to heal itself, how to right itself and be well. You are following in the footsteps of a million miracles, and walking beside the mighty Barbaro. So be well, dear Mikey, and we'll keep cheering you on from the "internet stands" each and every day. Love to all -- Susan in Saratoga
I'm so glad to hear things are going well.
Mike, keep it up! You'll be home before you know it!! It's a tedious battle, but you'll make it!
Hope you and your family have a good night and even better tomorrow!
I have to go out of town tomorrow but will check in again on Thurs. evening. Will keep all of you in my thoughts!
I just wanted to congratulate Mike on his progress. He won't remeber me, but I hope you all do. Tell him hello and keep it up.

Wonderful news about removing the feeding tube, and about visits from longtime friends.
I've been reading the updates on Mike's condition and want to add my best wishes for a smooth recovery.
Best wishes for you Mike's immediate family during this time.

I am so happy for Mike and his family. Removal of the stomach tube is a big deal and a good sign of Mike's progress.
I know how hard this has been for you Mike, but you certainly sound like a "never give up" kind of guy, and you have such a wonderful support system in that loving family of yours.
May God continue to bless you and your family. Angels are watching over and protecting you, of that I'm quite sure.
Keep up the good fight. Be well Mike. You're one day closer to going home.
Hi Mike
I have never been involved in racing but have fallen in love with Barbaro and thru Barbaro and Tim Woolley's site, found out about you. You get well real soon, lots of prayers and positive energy are coming your way.

To Mike and his family - You continue to be an inspiration with your faith and will to heal. Mike and Barbaro will be forever linked in my mind when I use the word "heroes". Would that we were all blessed with such a family as Mike has, as well!
Sleep well, Mike, know that you are mighty loved and admired, from both close and afar. Have another wonderful day of good surprises tomorrow... enough of that feeding tube, yeah!

Heal well and grow strong Mike - we're all praying for you and Bobby to return to a normal life
MIKE I SURE HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A BETTER DAY EACH DAY. DID YOU ENJOY THE POEM ABOUT BARBARO? MY HUSBAND WAS A JOCKEY AND GALLOPED HORSE ALL MORNING. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM AND IT TOOK TIME BUT HE MADE IT AND SO WILL YOU. I LIGHT A CANDLE FOR YOU EVERY DAY.
Hope you are well enough now to complain about the hospital food. I check on you every day even if I don't post a comment. Take it day by day and then one day you will be back in the saddle again.
Mike;
I always leave a note for Bobby, you keep fighting, I'll keep praying. You too!! Just take it day to day, or maybe hour to hour on some days. But keep the faith. We are all on your side.
Thoughts and prayers to your family as well!!
