Urgent Prayers Needed

UPDATE - # 10 Friday 1:40

Mikey was moved from the hospital to his home under Hospice care yesterday evening. At this time, there is no change. He is peaceful and surrounded by family. Let's continue to lift them up in prayer and pray for Mikey to have a peace as he makes his way to his heavenly home.

UPDATE - #9 Wednesday 10:33pm

Mikey is still fighting. He is surrounded by all of his family and a host of friends and St Jude friend/family. The hospital is now being very accommodating to Dina and the visitors. He is not at St Jude, so this is a big change for them, there is not another hospital that treats a family like St Jude does! I'll keep you posted.



UPDATE - #8 Wednesday 10:12 am

Mikey made it through the night. They put him in ICU last night but this morning they are moving him into a private room so everyone can stay with him. What an amazing fighter. Thank you for continuing to lift them up in prayer. Your such a wonderful group of prayer warriors, I am thankful for you guys. God bless you.


UPDATE - #7 - Tuesday night/Wednesday morning 1:25 am

I am so sorry for not getting this updated a few hours ago. Mikey and Dina landed around 10:30 pm. He did survive the flight, and made it to the hospital. HIs family and close friends were at the hospital to meet them. All I can ask at this time is for all of you wonderful prayer warriors to please be in prayer for Mikey, Dina and the family. They truly need your faithful fervent prayers to get though the hours they are facing. He is home, fighting hard and surrounded by his loved ones. Pray and pray some more.


UPDATE -#6 Tuesday 8:00 pm

MIKEY IS IN THE AIR NOW!!! PLEASE BE IN PRAYER

I have just been able to get to the computer, but Mikey is in flight now. They left around 7:30ish and he should arrive in Memphis around 10:00pm. Please be on your knee's in prayer for him to make it to Memphis. His family and friends need this so much. I honestly think that he has held on for the past two days to get back here to his family and friends. He definitely has a strong will to fight. He has been a fighter and is still continuing to fight! Mikey is loved by so many people, he is one of those young men who is just so easy to love. You know him, you love him. I do not have to tell you how much and how hard they have all worked and fought to get him back to Memphis, THANK YOU LORD for getting him airborn and on his way. Amen.

UPDATE - #5 Tuesday 11:32

They were not able to get all of the paper work signed last night, so the last call I got was about an hour ago saying Mikey was still with us but getting weaker. They do now have all of the paper work signed. First call was that his condition was declining very rapidly and that they were not going to get him here, then in a matter of a few minutes, it changed to they were getting everything ready to get him on a plane. This has been such a roller coaster for all of them. Like I said, about an hour ago, Dina thought they would be in the air within the hour. I'm still waiting to hear that they are in flight. I just pray that they can get him here.

UPDATE - #4 Monday 9:48 pm

I just realized after I posted this, that I have a skip in the events of the afternoon. While Katie, Ma and myself were out to lunch, Dina called and said that they were going to flight Mikey back this afternoon. They were working on making arrangements and everyone was sitting on ready to find out what time they were leaving and where they were going to take him when they got here. St Jude is out, LeBonheur was questionable and Methodist Hospital was a possibility. Then the call came around 6:30, which is the part of the update that follows:

The last update I got was around 6:30 tonight, it did not look good for getting Mikey back to Memphis tonight. It had not been ruled out, but was not looking to promising. They were awaiting Dr Boop to finish up in surgery here in Memphis, for him to sign papers to accept Mikey back here as his patient. The thought process was that it would most likely be to late to get arrangements made with Angel Flights that late in the evening. Mikey's condition is not good, Dina is doing everything she can to get him back to Memphis for his final part of this journey. Ma and Katie got here around lunch time, we had lunch and got to spend some time together. Pam V. was on her way in tonight too. Keep lifting them up in prayer.


UPDATE - #3 MONDAY 11:34 am

At this time, Mikey is not considered stable enough for a life flight back to Memphis. I do not have any details right now. Katie Bruce and Ma are arriving in Memphis any minute now to be here, I am getting ready to go meet up with them. I'll keep you posted as I know, just keep lifting everyone up in prayer, PLEASE! As hard as it is to type this, I know you know just from what I have told you already that this is the end of the road for Mikey's journey unless God has a different plan not yet seen to us. Please pray for peace and for God's mercy and comfort on Mikey and everyone who loves him so much. Praying for God's blessings on them.


UPDATE - #2 MONDAY 9:57am

Mikey made it through the night. They have contacted Angel Flight and are hoping to get him on a flight back to Memphis at any time time now. He is non responsive, but is breathing on his own. Please keep praying for him and for Dina and family. Please be in prayer that he can make it back to Memphis. This is very important to them. Several St Jude friend/family are on their way to Memphis at this time to be with them. Please keep them in your prayers for safe travels. Our weather here today is not that great, we have had passing thunderstorms all through the night and they continue this morning. Please lift everyone up in prayer today. I'll keep you posted.


UPDATE #1 - Last Night
Mikey is in ICU in a hospital in Orlando, FL. He had gone down with Dina and her daughter for July 4th to visit with his mom and go to Disney. I talked to him yesterday, he told me that he had a really good day on Friday and that he had slept most of the day yesterday. They were due to come home to Memphis tomorrow. I got a call a little while ago, that he had slept most of the day today, and woke up not himself and with a really sever headache in the back of his head. They rushed him to the ER and he went directly into surgery with a brain bleed from his tumor. Things do not look good at this time, he is not awake and not in pain. Please be praying for him and for Dina and his family. He is not stable enough to life flight him back to Memphis tonight, they will reevaluate tomorrow and see if he is able to come back to his doctors here. Please be praying for Mikey. Pray for his family, St Jude family and friends too. He is such a sweetheart and has touched the hearts of so many of the kiddo's at St Jude.

I will keep you updated on him.

DEAR LORD, PLEASE BE WITH MIKEY AND HIS FAMILY AT THIS TIME. WE PRAY FOR HIS HEALING IF IT BE YOUR WILL. WE PRAY THAT HE WILL NOT HAVE ANY PAIN OR DISCOMFORT. BE WITH THE DOCTORS WHO ARE CARING FOR HIM. GUIDE THEM TO MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS FOR MIKEY. WRAP YOUR LOVING AND COMFORTING ARMS AROUND EVERYONE WHO LOVES AND CARES FOR MIKEY SO MUCH, COMFORT THEM AS ONLY YOU CAN.

IN CHRIST NAME, AMEN

BELIEVE PRAYER WORKS~
