Mike is back home / GOLF TOURNAMENT FUNDRAISER
I thought I would update everyone and paste my post here and Mike's also from Alex Brown's racing site. We have to keep the Fans of Barbaro up to date because they just help Mike so much in every way but of course we want to update each and every one of ya'll too.
okay everyone,
I've been home a week now and it's still hard to believe that this accicent has left me so handicapped.I think the hyperberic chamber has made my mind work faster than my body can keep up with.It's like dealing with two people at the same time.I hope my body catches up soon or I'm going to go crazy.It was easier when my mind wasn't working so well.I guess we gotta start somewhere.It's obvious it's going to take allot of work.Nothing worthwhile is easy I just thought it was going to happen quickly.Atleast there is something to work towards.I realize now that I could be dead or hurt so bad that there's no hope of recovering.At least I realize that with hard work there is a chance at returning to as close as possible to normal.You guys have been great with your support and now this golf tournement.I don't know how to handle all this.Thankfully I think Rick and Mary are going to be here and actually stay with me.I haven't heard from them yet but my sister has talked to them.I just need to get busy and get back to the therapy and everything to keep working towards recovering.Thank you guys for everything and I'll write more later. Mike
Hello everyone. Well it is ONE WEEK from today when the BIG GOLF TOURNAMENT FUNDRAISER ARRIVES. We are all getting very excited. Mike is back home now. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber helped him so much brain wise that now he says his body has to catch up to his brain. He feels like his brain is faster than his body movements allow and since he has been back home he has fallen quite a bit but is doing alright. One elbow is pretty scraped up though. And of course he is lonely. After being around someone 24/7 for a long period of time and then being home all by yourself, I can see that. It was so easy to get him up and going when he was at Nancy's home because she or her husband was always there pushing him. Now we have to try to motivate him over the phone and get him up and moving. We keep encouraging him to keep practicing his walk and that practicing makes perfect. He did receive over 40 treatments there and will return in 3-4 months to get boosters. The physical therapy team there was also amazing. It's Mike's balance that is so bad and that's the part in his brain that has been so badly affected. We'll keep praying and we'll keep pushing him though. We all appreciate all that ya'll do and these FOB's, hey there is nothing like them anywhere. MAY THEY ALL BE BLESSED FOR ALL THEY DO.
HERE IS AN ALL DAY BUMP FOR MIKE REA AND THE FOB'S !!
WE BELIEVE IN MIKE REA
WE BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
