IT'S HERE!! PLEASE SIGN MIKE'S PETITION
Hello everyone. Well the weekend is coming to a close and my sister, Nancy has worked on the EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER PETITION all weekend and has it finished. Scroll down to the bottom of this page and just see how wonderful my sister is and sign for Mikey's sake. WE BELIEVE!! Nancy received a copy of Mercy's video (with The Fans of Barbaro) that was sent to ABC nominating Mike for the Extreme Home Makeover and it renewed her faith. She called me crying with tears of joy and so humbled by the compassion of a complete stranger. Even though Nancy has been sick and trying to catch up with her work she got the petition done.
In all honesty we all have grown exhausted, both physically and mentally. All of us have gone back through the messages that have been posted and remember the ones that would tell us to take care of ourselves too. We are trying to devise a plan for each of us to get more rest and re-evaluate our financial situations. No matter what, this family has always BELIEVED that God is first, family is second, and our careers are third. Nancy and I have time to recover. It's our mother we worry about constantly. Fortunately mother doesn't have time to read this.
Mostly we started the blog as a way to keep family and friends updated on Mike's recovery, but it has become a way to also relieve tension and someone to talk to while Mikey is on his race to recovery.
Mike did have another wonderful visit with his family this weekend. I go over on Saturday evenings to help him with his shower. He feels so much better after his shower and I feel so bad because I know if I wasn't there he couldn't shower or if he did, he would fall. I put up the new shower head which works great but I am now figuring how to get some tension bars or handles for him to hold on to so he can balance himself while standing. He can wash himself but he has to use one hand to hold on to keep his balance. Also seeing him unable to maneuver about the house, bedroom or bathroom is heartbreaking to me. But not to Mike. As long as he is able to be at home with his family he's happy no matter what.
Now I have to go to Tim Woolley's site and the forum to post so everyone will know that the petition is done. Thank you again and again and God bless everyone.

Hi Mike and Family:
I just signed the petition. Thank you for making an online version possible cause somehow I just didn't get it together to send my physical letter in. I hope this helps.
Wow Mike. You're going home on weekends now? That's great. I bet its so good to just be home with loved ones and a routine that you know. It won't be long before that's permanent.
You keep doing like Barbaro. He's thriving and getting stronger everyday. It's taken a whole team of people. But Mike from what I've read you have the same kind of team available to you. How very fortunate you all are. I won't kid you about snoring and scaring all the help though!
Please keep us informed of what you hear. And I will keep my fingers and tootsies crossed for good luck for all of you!
Thank you again for your candid expression of what you are all going through. From personal experience, I can say that it is really important to take care of yourselves, physically, emotionally, and mentally, while you are helping Mike. Bless you for your love for him and giving of yourselves so completely.
I will say extra prayers that your entire family's financial picture will be strong, and that support will come from even more unexpected places. And will sign the petition now and hope that is one more thing that will help change things for the better! You are all so deserving of light and love and happiness.
I am signing the petetion Elizaeth B
