Mikey update - Sat 6/06 7:13am PST

Good Morning All,
Just a few things to report this morning.

Got an update from Mike's brother Bill yesterday...

"Mike is continuing to do well day by day, and actually staying busy. Mike mentioned that today was the first day he woke up without any pain in his broken ribs, but it unfortunately came back quickly when he had to sneeze! Today we took a walk around the apartment where Mike is staying...it was a great day here, sunny and in the 70's. He continues to move around the apartment with his walker and his strength is getting better. He has physical therapy exercises that he continues to do daily and is breathing much better."

We also talked to him last night...he sounded good, and pretty much told us everything that Bill said above. He was really happy when he woke up without any pain in his ribs, and was ticked when he had to sneeze..."it was all over then!" he said. We talked to him a couple times yesterday, and the second time, he had some friends over to hang out. Sounded like a little party to me ;) In all reality, it sounded like they were having a nice time.

Last night we also made a last minute decision...Pat is currently on a plane to go see Mike. Our original plan was to both go next week/weekend, but we decided to "divide and conquer" in order to give Mike the most "face time" with the Reemts'! So, Pat is headed there as I write this, and will be there until Monday night. When we called to tell Mike that Pat was coming today, there was no mistaking the happiness in his voice. That, alone, made our night. I am working on getting my tickets for sometime next week; it's likely that I will be there from Thursday to Monday or something close to that.

I'll be talking to Mike later today, and I'm sure I'll get updates through the weekend from both Pat and Mike, and will post them here as I get them.

Keep the great thoughts coming!

Love & Blessings,
karin
