Almost the Weekend

Good morning everyone. What a day yesterday. When I arrived to Sunbridge yesterday, Mother and Mike had started moving his room around. It looks good and gives him more room to maneuver his wheelchair around and about. Mike continues to work so very hard with his therapies. Especially the walking part. Again he will question me about why he can't get his feet to do what he wants them to do. So I will explain to him about the brain having to heal and send that signal to him. Then jokenly say remember what Nancy said? Your feet are the furthest from your brain and that is why it is taking longer and we all laugh. Mike continues to have a lot of visitors. Cindy Weymouth from Fair Hill came with lots of hugs and encouragement Wednesday. Then yesterday her husband Gene came with Terry and Jimmy. They brought M & M's. These are all horse people I think. The pastor from his church who is now retired came and prayed with Mike. His name is Pastor Murphy. He helped Mike understand that God heals in his own time and has reasons for everything. A friend name Ed came last evening before we were leaving to go to Mike's son, Hunter's soccer game. Boy if it wasn't for Ed I would have had a hard time putting that darn wheelchair in my VW Bug trunk. Ed got it in there and off we went to the game. Everyone was so excited to see Mike. Rochelle and all the children were there and their friends Sue Ellen and Margie . Margie helped me with the wheelchair and through the grass we pushed to the field. Great big mosquitoes were out. I kept swatting at them on us. Finally they left us alone. Hunter's team won of course and Hunter made a goal to help his team win. After we got everything packed up and back in the car we rode by the hotel room so Mike could actually see where Mother and I are staying for now. We have been trying hopelessly to find an efficiency apartment or something to live in until Mike is able to go home. We are still working on it. My mother has a black lab that is about 14 years old. She has been paying a dog sitter since June 16th to care for her beloved dog. But the dog sitter now has to have major surgery for an aneurysm and Mother doesn't want anybody else to care for Dreyfuss. Please pray for Kim who has taken such good care of her dog and help Kim to recover at God speed. Kim has taken care of Mother's house, yard, and dog. When I go home for a visit everything is immaculate and Dreyfuss looks so good that you can tell Kim has taken such good care of him. Mike still has a lot of visitors coming daily and we are going to have to get a visitor book because I am not good remembering names. Today an old friend from Mikes's early horse days came to visit. Lisa Berry and Kevin Willey. This is when Mike had a horse named Miresgo. She even brought a picture of my daughter on Miresgo at about 3 years old. My daughter, Nicole is now almost 24 years old and teaching elementary school in N.C. Well Tuesday is going to be a big day and a big surprise for Mike. I will write about this more later. By the way that is his birthday day, Sept. 12th. Great news on the anti-slaughter bill and Barbaro is doing as well as Mike. They are both Champions and hero's. WE BELIEVE IN BARBARO - WE BELIEVE IN MIKE - WE BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. God bless everyone.
