Resting Well Tonight

They removed Mike's stomach tube this morning and he is doing very well. I checked out his wheel chair and it is very sensitive, like a steering wheel when it is real tight. Mike gets emotional every time we tell him how many people go to his site and also when we tell him about all the messages left for him. It's like he just can't believe it and is so happy that so many people are caring about him and praying for him. He has received a lot of cards and they are on a bulletin board in his room. We are going to try and get Kernan to let us hook up and go on line so Mike can see everything. Yeah, can you believe they don't have a hook up in their rooms or even wireless network. Since I wrote this morning there's not a lot to say. Will, one of his good friends since his teen years plans to visit Sunday if possible. We decided to let it be a surprise for Mike. We are going to make an effort to find the pictures of Mike from his first fox hunt at nine years old to his show days on the circuit jumping and showing, and his first race on the flat at Camden, S.C. and try to fine a few of his steeple chase races and win pictures of him being a jockey and of some of the horses he trained and won. Since these pictures are scattered from North Carolina to Maryland it may take a while. You know Mother, she kept every picture from the day he was born. So hopefully soon you can see why he is loved and cared for by so many people just like Barbaro is. We saw Barbaro on the news this evening and Mike was very interested in everything the T.V. had to say about Barbaro. Everyone have a good night and next day and I'll be back tomorrow night.
