BABY STEPS DO COUNT!!!
Hello everyone. I have some glorious news to post. Mike is taking unassisted steps. Even though they are baby steps, that counts. Remember his recovery is like a baby learning how to do things. So in my pediatric knowledge mind my brother will be walking very well soon. He called our mother and told her that he stands up from a sitting position and is able to walk a few steps. We are elated with joy and so very excited that his balance is now slowly coming back. May God bless everyone and God speed to my amazing wonderful brother.
Mike continues with his water therapy and is helping his boys with their homework. He tries to help his wife with her household tasks and errands. He said all of the children are doing well also. They have been looking at land because Mike's dreams are to have enough land to have a barn on to house lay ups (horses recovering from injuries, ect.), maybe giving some riding lessons and also incorporating a Christian camp and helping children. Now I am sure I haven't mentioned all of his dreams, hopes, and thoughts but hopefully this will come true for him some day. We are still working on the Extreme Home Makeover nomination but have come across some rough spots. What will be, will be and we all just keep praying about it.
A Fan of Barbaro, Laurie Hammer, has wrote a poem for my brother and I wanted to share it with everyone. It is so him.
FOR MIKE REA
Uncommon love he has,
For all horses everywhere,
This man of greatest heart,
Horse trainer extraordinaire.
One day a barn he sees,
Engulfed by fire it be,
No thought for self was there,
Four horses saved by he.
For he so loves the horse,
And horses do him love,
He hears a horse's heart,
A gift from God above.
Well I just wanted to let ya'll know Mike is doing very well and is handling Barbaro's passing as well as could be expected. All of our prayers are with the FOBS also. I will keep you posted on his recovery and will post again soon. Everyone take care.

Hope the Extreme Home Makeover works out. Please let me know if there is absolutely anything I can do to help!!! I want to see this happen for Mike!

So glad to hear about Mike's continued progress - we just have to remember that life is always full of ups and downs. If all of us that know and love Mike come together as a unified front we may be able to make his dream of owning land and taking of horses a reality. We just need to get organized and follow the path to make that dream come true. You know I'm in for the long haul!
WE MOST DEFINITELY BELIEVE!!!
Love,
Mercy
Wow! That is just amazing. I will pray about the Land Deal, that it will come through if it is God's will. That would be a dream! You are right, whatever happens will be the right thing.
