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.

Barbaro's Response to Mike's Letter

Barbaro’s Reponse to Mike Rea’s Letter

By

Bobby J. (AKA “Barbaro”)

Don’t mention it my friend, we are in this together,
The best we can do is to support one another.

I heard you have moved closer to home, boy that is grand,
You and I both know that it is the best in the land.

Just gave Alex a message from me to the Bullet,
I told him to tell him, I thought he was full of it!

I know we both just must keep healing from day to day,
You in the hospital, while I am here in the hay.

I just wish you could visit me out here in my stall,
All of our fans would be thrilled, and would not that beat all!

Because we both are survivors, known that from the start,
And I know you will be back soon from deep in my heart.

Do not be discouraged when things don’t go as you plan,
Remember we’re in God’s keeping, He has things in hand.


Hello everyone. I am in Fayetteville, NC and Nancy had told me about Barbaro's Response to Mike's letter and I wanted to share it with everyone to see. Melissa Harden, who is so talented really wrote this and Mike gets so delighted when he sees things like this. It also helps him to be so strong and he tries so much harder at healing. We love everything everyone has done for Mike. Will be back later.
