Hi Michael,
Thanks for the e-mails. It sounds like you are having a fun summer. I'm glad to hear our garden is doing well. What do you think of the new classroom? We have lots of work to do, but I think it will be great! I'm very excited! Did you have fun catching lightning bugs? You are counting very well these days! I like the picture of you skateboarding in the house. It reminds me of the days my brothers, sister, and I used to rollerskate in our house! Keep having lots of fun this summer. I will see you in a month!!! :)

Hi all,
I'm delighted to hear of all the progress as the day 365 goal gets closer and closer! Another special good thing is that Michael Patrick loves his curls now. (It was getting harder and harder not to mention how great his hair looks and pretend it was straight.) Thomas looks good with straight hair, a lot like Joey's when he was a little fella. So everybody has his or her own look and all are beautiful; God made each person special. Love to all,G'ma Jo

I wanted to say hi! It looks like you are having a fun-filled summer! My favorite picture is the one of you with chocolate on your face. Getting a messy face and dirty hands always indicates fun times. Well, I am leaving for Myrtle Beach today. I will be meeting my family there and little cousins..so we will be building lots of sand castles I'm sure. Then I get to go back home to Ohio and see my little nephew!
Will you teach us the names and symbols of the cars when we get back to school? Tell your mom I said hi! Keep having fun!!!

I like the hot air balloons on your web page, and the news that you are doing great. I know getting stuck for blood is no fun, but soon that will become less and less frequent and then hardly ever.

Just dropping by to say hi and see what's going on w/ Michael. I have that same problem w/ my boys and their "Saturday" clothes, especially when we're headed to church or some event where they need to look presentable. They'd stay in the same clothes for days and days if I let them!

BTW, we finally heard Michael Patrick's song....one of our home computers' speakers doesn't work well. Cute tune!

I'm checking out your webpage for the first time after finding it on Frankie's page. Thanks so much for introducing yourself to us at the Walk. Kaitlyn enjoyed swimming w/ your kids at the hotel later...she thought Michael was so cute. Isn't it fun to watch the kids enjoy the pool after getting their lines out? BTW, I noticed from the drink Michael's holding in one of your pictures that you went to Cook Out...isn't it good? We always have to go there when in town...great BBQ and milkshakes!

Belated "Happy Mother's Day!",

Hello again everybody,
People are still talking about the Rainbow of Heroes Walk, it was such a glorious event with all those balloons soaring into a magnificently blue sky. Someone at my church suggested putting notes inside them asking the finders to say a prayer for the child whose name is on the balloon and then dispose of the balloon. Litter problem solved! Prayers continue, thanks for those like Michael Patrick who are doing so well, and petition for healing those still fighting the tough battles every day, and asking God's consolation for the families of the dear ones whose fight is ended and are in heaven. God bless you all.
Love, grandma Jo

Hi Everyone,
This is Michael. I'm in school right now. I wanted to tell you that my favorite work is the brown stairs. These are the stairs that are brown. I have really nice friends here. I like walking across the balance beam outside and playing in the sandbox. It's really nice having my mom next door to me. I like to give her hugs. My other favorite work is the balloon matching.
Hugs and kisses,
Michael

Finally, I'm posting an entry, after reading about 6 or 7 that I hadn't read yet. When I'm there in person, I don't check the web site and have been busy since returning from the Rainbow of Heroes walk. That event was awesome, emotional, happy, and at moments sad as parents and families of the (saints or angels) still came to support the event.That says a lot! I add my thanks to those of the Wren family to all who supported the walk. God bless everyone.
Love, Grandma Jo

Hey Wren family!! I haven't been to the site since Christmas and I sit here tonight with tears of joy streaming down my face. I am covered in "Jesus bumps" as I look @ all the pictures and realize that Michael Patrick is nothing less than a MIRACLE ! IT IS ALL GOOD! How blessed this little boy of yours is and how blessed I feel to have been able to be a tiny little part of God's plan by praying for Michael and the whole family (including all the caregivers that God placed in your journey). As spring settles in and new life blooms and blossoms, we should all Praise God for the new life blooming and blossoming before our eyes. God Bless you all. Love, Jan

Hey everyone...I changed the home page photo to one that I just created. The top left corner (Mom's fave, but with a smile!) is the first week at Presbyterian, the 'Boy on Tricycle' is week 2 (1st week at Duke) and going counter-clockwise around the border are each successive week until the dear boy came home.

The center photo is interchangeable, which is an option I will exercise (as instructed) as time goes on.

The Remission Commission is off to the Rainbow of Heroes Walk...have a Great Trip! Post Updates here of the experience! Take pictures! Raise lots of money for a great charity! And...most importantly...bring me back a present!

Aunt Paula checking in here... Hello to everyone reading. Can't pick a favorite photo, like them all & the one at the lobster tank isn't an option. I've know since Michael Patrick was old enough to express himself that God has special plans for him. He is truly amazing. Glad to hear he is using his manners at school. Good Luck walking this weekend. Missing everyone terribly, Paula

By the way, I changed the T-shirt photo to reflect that the design will be on red shirts, cause that's Michael's favorite color (it just so happens to be mine also)...enjoy :o}
Dave <bossobass@aol.com>
Charlotte, NC USA - Tuesday, May 2, 2006 4:05 PM CDT

Yes, Mom...I did know that 8^) Mine is the one just to the right of your favorite. This is because the little bugger had me in stitches A-L-L D-A-Y that day, and anything that reminds me of how we laughed that day is at the top of my list of favorites.
Dave <bossobass@aol.com>
Charlotte, NC USA - Tuesday, May 2, 2006 3:55 PM CDT

I think most of you know that MY favorite picture is the one in the top left corner. Just so you know, that hasn't changed. Michael sure has though! The one I like happens to be the oldest in the bunch, as it was taken March 24, 2005. I was holding him and wondering how we'd ever get through the journey ahead. (With a smile).

Dear Michael Patrick,
I hope you are feeling better and that you are home safe.
Jean - you are correct - avoid the ER as much as possible. We call and have a stand rule to go to the floor. Less grems and the staff knows the "drill". I hope you don't have to do this again. Maybe once will be enough!
Hugs to everyone.

Love the new pictures and captions, but miss Joey. I know Mike ws in VA. Glad you had a nice Easter. We did too.I don't hear the song on the web site page on my computer. I'm looking forward to the Rainbow of Heroes Walk. Keeping brochure handy for directions and time schedule. It's so good to see Michael Patrick enjoying all the great things about being a "normal kid". He was a patient "patient" for a long time.

Your new pictures are great and you look like you are feeling good and having a good week this week. We are, except Dara is sick and she gets to be home relaxing, but I have to go to school. Sometimes it feels unfair but my mom says she is always fair. My dad did give me a chocolate bar yesterday but Dara got one too, so that doesn't really count for me but I guess it is fair.
We will write more later. We love you,

Michael,
We miss you! We hoped we might see you and Miss Jean last week but I have been sick and we didn't want to give you any germs. My mom is making some homemade playdough this weekend for my class at school. I will save you some. It is goopy in a pot with flour and a lot of salt, and a package of jello to color it. You have to keep stirring and stirring and then it goes from goop to playdough real fast. AND it smells good, but promise you won't taste it because it tastes yuckie. I hope to see you soon when I am not sick any more and we can play. Probably at your house because your toys are better!

Love, Dara

Hello!
Just checking in and find the family doing quite well! MP seems ready for anything. What a trooper. Hope to see you real soon. Oh, before I forget, Fr. Tom always ask about MP and wants me to give him an extra hug when I come! Fr. Tom is battling cancer too. He hasn't said what kind or where but he has has 2 chemo. After the first one he had a heart attack. But we are all saying many prayers of thanks that the next treatment went very well. He has lost a lot of his hair but otherwise is defying any visible signs of how he feels! Please add him to your prayer list. Thanks.
Love and prayers,
Camille

I love to read such great news on Michael's updates. There are times I'm not having a great day, or when a bout of sadness hits... then I turn to my old faithfuls! Your updates always lift my spirits. I thank you for that.
It's wonderful to hear that Michael is doing so incredibly well. Congratulations!!!
Sending you big hugs & continued prayers across the miles,

"It's good to hear everyone is doing well I'm glad Micheal is holding his weight. Hopefully all the good news will sustain Mr Dave when Tiki runs wild on his Panthers."

Well, I'll just have to sit here and bask a bit. How many yards did Tiki amass? And quarterback Choke Manning?
Question now is...can the Playoff Panthers beat the Chicago upstarts?
Hey Chris...see ya in the Super Bowl!!
Michael's news keeps getting better, and yes...it will definitely get me through the loss if the Panthers don't go all-the-way. :^O

Dear Jean and Mike, Joey, Jewel, Thomas, and Michael,
I'm thrilled at all the good news, and want to comment on the "flashback" pictures. What a good idea! What enormous obstacles have been hurdled, and monumental progress has been made. God has truly blessed Michael, and we all know the huge network of friends and family who prayed for this miracle and are still praying, thanking and asking for continued blessings.
I want to print the flashback collages, but my printer is out of ink right now. I think they will save in my computer, hope somebody (are you there Mr. Dave?) is saving too in case I goof.
Again, love to all and Happy New Year. Love, Grandma Jo

Hi!
Love your snowman motife. We have a real one in the neighborhood! Got about 2" of snow yesterday and it looks like a winter wonderland. Supposed to be getting more tonight. A little early but we may have to settle for this as our white Christmas. I bet Michael(and the rest of the family) would love it. You may have some anyway by then. It is so pretty but sure is cold. Kind of slippery too. My car has no problem but I can't get out of the car! So I just go with others when necessary so they can park in a cleared area.
Stay well.
Love and prayers,
Camille

Hi Michael,
We are glad you are home now. I wish you could come to our Park Road Montessori school. We can't wait to teach all new things to Michael (Ashlee). I hope you feel better. You can also tell us what you want to be when you grow up. In my book there is a white cell swallowing a bad germ (Alex). We can teach you all our works and we have a new special work for you when you come to our Park Road Montessori school (Ashlee). I saved you a piece of cake (Kailey). My favorite book is Snow White and I like reading my book because it's so beautiful and sometimes my cousin likes Spider Man (Ashlee). My favorite book here is 100 Things You Should Know About the Human Body (Alex). I love you Lucy. She is my dog and eats dog food (Sean). ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ now I know my ABC's (Malique). Michael I want to show you my Polar Express ticket and our trains and my santa hat. I wore my santa hat on the playground today and I am silly (Keller).

What a wonderful message.......Michael we are so glad to hear that you are eating your oatmeal. Do you know what? Your cousin Matthew loves to eat "oats". I can't keep enough in the house. He eats them for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. When he was little, we used to hide raisans at the bottom so that he would have a surprise waiting for him, isn't that funny. He is also suddenly drinking a lot of orange juice too. I will tell him you call it gas. I expect that will make him crack up! He is 11 now and everything makes him laugh.....We love you and miss you and can't wait until we see you again....Give Thomas a big hug and a kiss from us and don't forget Joey and Jewel.....Your Drohan cousins

Prayers of gratitude continue. Thanks for new pictures Mr. Dave. I think the one of Michael (unmasked) shows a real resemblance to Thomas. Usually they don't look that much alike.

Hi!
Oh the news just seems to get better and better. Hope all are getting more rest and sleep. Or maybe just Mom and Dad need to get more sleep! Take care. Just in case things in Sequim get too busy I'll wish y'all a most happy and blessed Thanksgiving. We will have 25 at our celebration. One of the family members has acces to a clubhouse, the only place that has room for all of us! There are 3 coming from California otherwise we all hale from Sequim and Port Angeles. It will be great fun.
Take good care.
Love and prayers,

Thanksgiving...
This one will be a no-brainer.
Michael is doing amazingly, incredibly well and is such a joy to know. I'm the lucky Godfather who gets to see him every single day, now that he's home.
He always makes me smile. He always has something beyond his years to say. He always comes out on the screened porch where Mike & I hang out to sit on my lap and tell me what's new, once a night. He always says good night and blows a kiss.
I'm glad I know him. He's special.
I'm thankful this year, you bet..

Hi Y'all,
It's good to see the web page "recovered" and I'm so glad Michael is doing so well. Prayers continue and I pray for Benjamin and Bryce and Mia. I visited Mia this morning and met her Grandma (AKA GaGa). Mia is on her second round of chemo now. She was feeling well when I was there and shared her pretzels with me (insisting until I complied) She has a caringbridge web site named miaturner and would appreciate a note and sharing prayer.
Stay boring if that means no illness (I know it's not really boring there) and keep on keeping on. I love you.
L&P, Grandma Jo

Our Lord is smiling on the Wren family and saying My good and faithful servant. Keep the hopes up, Remember only Satan loves to discourage....and you have passed the test and came to far to let anyone discouge you. Keep fighting off germs, with cooler air nice and crisp.

Michael, my spidey friend, it was so great to see you in clinic Monday. I am happy you are closer to going home because that means you are doing great, but I am sad that I won't see your cute smiling face around clinic. I am also happy for the time that I had to take care of you since your arrival at Duke. I will look forward to your follow up visits and will continue to check your website for updates.

Dear Jean, Mike, Michael, Joey, Jewel and Thomas,
Thank you so much for sharing all of your good news about your time spent together on the weekends. It is great to hear your praises and see all of the miracles, big and small, that are taking place. This weekend was a time of great grace at the Eucharistic Congress in Charlotte...hundreds of people kneeling on Tryon Street in front of St. Peter's when the Blessed Sacrament came out for the procession. You were there in spirit as your intentions were lifted up to Our Lord in the Pepetual Adoration Chapel. We cannot wait to welcome you home for good! Love and hugs to all of you. Love, SueAnn, Wayne and Douglas

Hi Michael,

My name is Jenean and I am a good friend of Kim from Rocky Mount. She has been giving me updates on how you are and what is going on in your life. I own a Karate school and have a lot of little boys who take from me. I have two girls of my own, Ashley and Meghan, so I get to spoil the little boys in my classes. I told Kim I would come to visit you soon when you are up to some company. Kim is bringing you a surprise the next time she visits. I hope you like her gift. She is very excited to give it to you. You take care of your Mom and Dad. I will write to you soon.

Hi Guys!!!!

Well we are back in New York and are so happy that we had the chance to play with cousin Michael. He is the toughest, smartest 4 year old I know!!! He was an absolute pleasure to be around. Mike and Jean are amazing. They know everything they have to do for him and get it done!!! Mr. Dave is the best friend, godfather, person anyone can ask for. Michael's eyes light up when he is around. We are so lucky that he is a constant present source of positive energy in Mike, Jean, and Michael's life.
Keep posting comments and good thoughts in the guestbook and keep praying. Michael's bilirubin jumped up a little..which may be from his medicines but something we need to watch!!
Love you guys!

Chicago, IL USA - Monday, September 5, 2005 11:41 AM CDT

Well, Virginia & I successfully celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary yesterday, attended by family and friends where a great time was had by all.
As usual, Michael ate for me. He had chicken (which he likes) and some baked potato (which he doesn't prefer as much) and water. He didn't keep it down very long, but he bounded back into the room full of pep and good cheer and is not discouraged.
We (Michael & I) have decided to make a list of foods that he likes and doesn't like. This means that we'll have to try a lot of different foods. We decided on a couple of dishes that we'll try next week and hopefully the list of foods that he likes will GROW.
He's such a cool person.
Meeting Kevin, Meg, Lauren & Ryan was simply superb. They are the kind of family who make you feel that you've known them forever.
Aunt Dr. Meg...you are awesome!
New pics are up...refresh! More are coming in a few days! It was a GREAT weekend, thanks to Michael's spirit, Doctors, Nurses, Family and...ALL OF YOU!!!
Michael...thanks for being tough and doing everything in your power to get well.

Just keep smiling and being as brave as you are. Michael, you give me the motivation to go about my day sometimes. You impress me so much! Keep up the good work. And don't forget to have fun with Dora and everything. I love you, Michael! PS- Tell your mom she owes you a HUGE hug from me.

Greenville, IL - Friday, September 2, 2005 8:35 PM CDT

Michael, I'm sorry you are having a hard time keeping food down. Maybe you will do better with your cousins. Little bites, a little at a time might work. You get stuffed so fast, just eat 1 bite. when that stays down, eat another bite. eating little, bitty bites through out the day is much easier on the tummy than eating all at one time when you're not used to it. let me know if that works & what to bring you to eat next time I come up. I miss you, Auntie

Well, the Hroblak's haven't signed in lately so I thought I would write a few lines. Michael's news just keeps getting better and every day I can't wait to see what progress has been made. The photos are totally cool and the storyboard that goes with it is a hoot.We enjoy it all!! I can't say enough about the awesome strength of Jean and Mike. Their unfailing faith in a positive outcome sustains us all, so I know that Michael can only get better and better. My best wishes to all the Wrens and we hope to see you soon. Michael, eat a little more each day and you will be that much closer to coming home for good. So think of every bite as another step, sometimes baby steps and sometimes giant steps. And all your good family and friends right behind you, cheering you on!!!

Hi Michael Patrick,
This is grandma Jo, back home and seeing the good news on your web site,no cmv virus! I said a big prayer of thanks. I know God is taking care of you, He gave you such good parents and sister and brothers who love you so much. And I love you too. Mom's job is to keep your medicines and food going into you, some by line and some by mouth. Your job is to cooperate a lot better than this morning. I know you can because I have seen you do it lots of times. But even one bad time makes it much harder. It is more important than you know, or Mom wouldn't make you do it. So I hope you will be fine and do a good job cooperating. I love you, everybody who knows you loves you, and we all want you to help the doctors and mom and dad get you all well so you won't need all the medicine you need right now. I know you want that too so just do it and then you can play. You sure are a good pin ball player. Keep on being good and having fun.
Love and prayers, G'ma Jo

I know that stuff is terrible but please take it like the strong little boy I know you are. You promised me a trip to Chucky Cheese & I want you well enough to take me!!! I love you all!!!!

The truth of the matter, in Michael's case, is that he has been poked, cut, stuck, prodded, probed and infused with some of the most toxic meds on the Planet to the point where every cubic inch of his body has suffered.
Anyone who has been in an ICU bed for any length of time can relate to being awakened at all hours of every single day (in Michael's case, for most of the past 1/2 year) for one test or another, and how difficult that is to cope with.
When the blood pressure machine was doing nothing more than the equivalent of a very strong person squeezing Michael's arm for longer than it should have, he began to quietly cry.
Carrie immediately took the arm band off and went to get another machine and everything was explained to Michael. For what seems like the millionth time, I asked him to show me how tough he is because we really need to get the blood pressure numbers correct, and then we can go.
Well, he certainly did show everyone how tough he is, for what seems like the millionth time...and...he IS tough. He makes me feel like I can endure anything. I look up to him. I tell him that every week.
I have been frequenting some AML forums where I just read the conversations of people who share Michael's experiences and talk about it all.
The subject of loss of appetite is a common one, and how long it took some folks to regain any appetite at all, and only then for certain foods.
I then arrive to visit Michael and, as though I hadn't read anything on the subject, I explain to Michael that the sooner he eats and keeps it down, the sooner he may be able to come home, where we all miss him terribly.
And, he eats. And, minutes later, it comes up. It's happened so many times, his stomach hurts, but, each week I ask, and each week he complies.
This week, it stayed down...God bless his little soul. He makes me believe I can endure anything.
Some day, by God's Grace, I might be able to pay him back for everything he's done for me.
I too appreciate that everyone comes here to check on Michael and so many prayers have been offered in his behalf, and so many good thoughts have rushed his way from all over the Earth.
Please post a tiny thought here so that he knows that you are all still here.
It's so much appreciated.

Michael's God Father

Hey Michael, I had a great weekend with you. Letting you squeeze my hand when you needed to, watching Mr. Dave talk you into eating & keeping it down, meeting Kim, playing with the fat bird, or is it a skinny bird? I had fun teasing Jewel too. Now, I'm going to ask EVERYONE who checks on you through this site, to say "hello" to you through the guestbook. Just so you'll know who out there is thinking of you. I know you love hearing from all the different people. I love you & I miss you very, very much. Auntie

I had such a great time yesterday. I am proud of Michael. He has improved so much. I can tell a great difference in just a week or so.I loved his dancing yesterday. He is such a great child. I love you all!!!

Red Oak, NC - Saturday, August 27, 2005 7:22 AM CDT

My favorite is a tie between 2 of them. I like the top left because it's the first photo in which MPW posed for me with his true feelings totally exposed to the camera.
The other photo that ties with the top left is the photo directly to the right of that. It was taken on the day when MPW kept me in painful stitches laughing about 'Hairball', 'Dog scratch!', 'Don't make me like you!', 'Don't make me get the hiccups', 'That is Nastay!', etc., all day long.
Miss V likes the one to the left of the sunglasses best. It was taken on our front porch and conveys to Miss V how Michael was feeling at that particular moment in time best of all the photos.
Anyone else have a favorite??

Hey, guys! MP, I hope your cheek feels better! That's some nasty bruise you've got! It must be quiet now that all your siblings are back at school. You've got your parents all to yourself now :) Cousin Jack's school doesn't start for another 2 weeks so we are counting the days. I hope you're feeling OK and keep hanging in there. You'll be home before you know it.

Okay, favorite picture huh? This is a no brainer and I suspect Dave already knows mine. I still don't think of it as a sad or painful face, but completely get why others do. My favorite is (still) the top left. Michael J.'s favorite is the top Right! Michael P. likes the one smack in the middle with the sunglasses. The one above it is Jewel's favorite. Aunt Paula is still loving the Lobster photo not included. ha ha

Hello to Michael, Mike, Jean, Joey, Jewel and Thomas, Good to read the updates you post on this website, it's terrific. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day for you all. Elizabeth started school this past Monday and is again having fun with her friends. She cannot play in gym and at recess she has to be careful playing. She said she is getting tired of playing hopscotch, but she cannot afford to take a hard hit to her head, so we must find other things to do. We're going to try the yo-yo for awhile. Take care of yourselves, and remember you're in our prayers. Love to All, Cindy

We will certainly miss getting him up and running in the morning when school starts this monday. We are settling in to life in PA but never miss a day without thinking about you all. We are so proud of you and grateful that you will soon be home in Charlotte. It seems that no matter where we live, we have cousins. Either a Wren or a Keough! We had fun on sunday with our Delaware Wren cousins and also had a visit from Aunt Mary and Uncle Mike Drohan and his family. We had fun and wish you could have been here too. Give everybody a big hello and lots of hugs and kisses. Stay strong! All of our loving thoughts and prayers. P.S. Mike, Jim is putting up the shelves in the garage, wish you were here to make sure the job gets job right:)You are our favorite handy man who "Knows a guy"

Hi there Wrens! Greetings from the outside, too! Frankie didn't like the parade all that much, so you didn't miss much, just Frank holding him in his arms as we took the walk. We are also battling the non-eating issues. But, I think that's normal as the tastebuds are not functioning like pre-transplant.
Give Michael Patrick a big hug from us! Hopefully, we'll get to see you in clinic someday!! We're there tomorrow and Monday for sure.
Many Hugs, Cynthia, Frank & Frankie

Mike & Jean (and Joey, Jewel and Thomas) , Friends & Family) and Duke People:

This is about ALL of you. I will copy Michael (the Younger) and tell him later in life about the courage and determination of his MOM , DAD , Brothers and Sister... and all of you....When everyday uncertainties became the everyday.....( too many days) .... Mom , Dad, Joey, Jewel and Thomas were there for Michael.
Each new day brought new hope that Michael would come thru. The extended family represented by this board has been remarkable. The support and outreach exceeds all expectatations...Thank You !... The GUY that makes the difference is young Mike... he is God's miracle.... his example shows us that each of us can overcome any obstacle.
Michael's path forward is clear. We are all counting that we can continue to assist Michael in life's journey. He is an exceptional kid...with a strong family and extended family committed to his future . All the best for Mike, Jean , Joey , Jewel and Thomas. .....again thanks to all of you as the journey continues. Mike and Jean you are great parents .We love You !

Awesome update!
I feel like the world was just lifted off of me. I can't really even begin to imagine the weight of living in those tiny rooms, day after day, month after month, making the decisions to allow such brutal treatment regimens and seeing your child suffer so for so long.
Last Saturday, Doc D said only that they would 'watch Michael closely over the next few days'. Each of those days seemed like months to me.
The update is such welcome good news!
Here's praying that things stay on track this time and this Saturday I find Michael at home with his family...where he belongs!

Dear Mike and Jean,

I am speechless (believe it!) with joy! IT IS truly the best gift Thomas will ever give and Michael will ever receive...and in the giving and receiving I am so aware of the presence of grace and mystery. Here is a miracle before me! 98%!

Hugs to both of you, and Joey and Jewell, AND kisses to Thomas and Michael. I love you all.

I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well. I cant wait to see you back in Charlotte. Dr.Marshall stays updated on you with this wonderful web site. I'm sure he'll be excited to see you again back at the office. My family as well as my church have continued to remember you & your family in our prayers. I'm going to send you a package on Monday for your belated birthday. Maybe mom can let me know what you think of it.

Happy Birthday, Michael! At our house we sang you this birthday song: "God's blessings on you, God's blessings on you! God's blessings on Michael! God's blessings on you!" We celebrated with a box of "Mike and Ikes" (see the connection?! Got anyone in the family named Ike?! And we lit a candle at church to pray for you, that you come home soon and have a great year being a 4 year-old. Dara says she is glad you are 4 now because she just had her birthday 2 weeks ago and you can both be 4 at your next playtime!

We hope to see you this Sunday when we go to visit family in Raleigh. We want to bring you a present and sing our song to you.

We love you,

Yes, what a difference a week makes. I'm so glad the dear boy felt better. He certainly shows no quit once he gets off the Unit and into play mode. It's a great thing to watch and photograph. The kids all get along well and have the best time together.
New phtos are up, so hit refresh if you don't see them. More on the way later this week.

Hey There To All and a SPECIAL YaHoo to Michael!

It's Chuk from Pittsburgh dropping a note. It has been a while and I have been keeping up by both talking with Mr. Dave "The Man" and peeking at the journal from time to time.

The pictures are more than perfect!

I really like Hatty he's a really cool kid - I think I might even know who he is!

Michael, you are looking just great and soon you'll be running around in your own back yard. I hear your birthday is soon and you'll be how old? Naw, you can't be that old can you?

Just remember God is with us all and especially in our time of need. I know you all have a direct line and he's listening and helping all for Michael's speedy recovery. Go kick some butt Michael. I know the next time I see you you'll be the ultra beaming kid that I got to be friends with when I was in at your house watching the big game.

Signing off for now . . . Go Michael Go!

Dear Michael and family,
Wow, I am thrilled and grateful for the exciting news on the journal this morning (written yesterday) Love the butterflies. I hope ice cream is in the plan today and that Michael can eat some. They say it helps sore throats, but that may be just an old wives tale. It always makes me feel better anyway.
I love you all bunches and oodles, and pray for all of you every day, also for all the friends who are praying, and absolutely thank God for the wonderful doctors, nurses, and all the great staff on 5100 and 5200; God bless them, we appreciate them.

I am so proud of all your footsteps and your accomplishments. May God receive all the Glory for renewing your body.

May God direct your every step and go out and proclaim to the world what He has done for you and your family. I will never forget our meeting today and your smile under your mask.

Joey,

I'm not sure you'll see me this weekend, BUT I wanted to wish you a "Happy Birthday!" in anticipation of tomorrow. I'll send a card ASAP and I even got you present...though not a cool one! I'm thinking your mom will appreciate it and it will surely convey meaning and serve purpose. (hint-hint)

I also offer to you my pledge of a one-year supply of my chocolate chip cookies. That doesn't mean you will always have some in your cupboard, but rather that when you ask, I will provide. Please note that this pledge will ONLY remain in place if you honor my need NEVER to see or hear about your icky wrist x-rays. Thank you for asking!! : )

Hugs to your family.

Love,

Hi everybody, this is to let all the web visitors know that i visited Michael this morning and he was totally marvelous compared to yesterday! Up and bouncing on his bed, talking to everybody and hiding under the covers and pretending to be asleep, then popping up with his special smile and a sparkle in his eyes. I'm soo glad I got to see that! Then Mike drove me to the airport for a quick flight home. All's wel. Thanks again Mr. Dave for the great pictures, comments and captions, and of course the latest "Hatty" (I'm glad it was you and not me dealing with the bathroom adventure) It's a good day today, prayers answered again.Thanks to all who have prayed, and I pray for you too. It's all good Love, G'ma Jo

Hopefully if your numbers continue good...you will start feeling good. Until then know...we Webb's are sending all good thoughts and good prayers your way. You are afterall "My Favorite Michael"...and we have couple of Power Ranger costumes to find, right? One with the pink skirt for your mother...and what color was I supposed to be?

Speaking of your mother, tell her I got the message...both the one on my machine and the one in her posting! I thought she only said, "Blah-blah-blah Tracy" TO me?! : )

Give hugs and kisses to your mom and dad and brothers and sister for me. I miss you.

They loved Michael!...as everyone does that meets him!

Sequim, WA - Sunday, July 24, 2005 11:23 PM CDT

There was an urgent need on 5200 for all available personel during my visit Saturday. Ms. Virginia and Jean were out for some dinner and Mike was staying at the apartment as a cautionary measure due to a possible illness. This left Michael & me to get him and his high tech gear to the bathroom. I certainly wish it was on video as it had to be seen to be believed, in my opinion.
Michael, ever so calmly and methodically, instructed me in a step by step fashion what to do to unhook the monitors, stop them from beeping a disconnect alarm, move him and his pole (with multiple lines attached) into the bathroom. Once we successfully got into the bathroom, it went something like this:
Michael: To your left.
Dave: What's to my left?
Michael: The light switch.
Dave: OK. Now what?
Michael: Puke bucket (pointing to it), help me up and the fresh diapers are up there [pointing again (mind you, MIchael isn't crazy about having to wear them and he certainly didn't need them this day)].
Michael: Watch my lines. (he grabs the disconnected line and holds it away from harm).
Dave: OK, are we set? Michael nods. Afterwards, he points to the wipes and asks me to clean him as he assumes the position.
We get him back into bed and reconnect everything and the nurse finally arrives. She apologizes for the long delay, explains that there was an emergency down the hall and checks to see if everything is correct with Michael and his gear.
Of course it is! Michael missed no detail in the entire operation. I had to remind myself that he is 3 YEARS OLD!, whereupon he reminded me that he will be four years old in 2 weeks.
Just had to relate some of this day, as it certainly is a remarkable day for me and one I'll remember forever.
Jean...ask and you receive. Let me know about any other pics you might wish to see in the future.
More pics later this week. New ones are up, so refresh if you don't see a new set at the top of the picture page.
Great to meet ya, Aunt Mo and always great to see you Joanna, looking superb, I might add.
Tracy, the cookies made it to Joey. Enjoyed the chat. Thanks for everything.

I am so happy you are feeling better - though you did look cute with your washcloth fever reducing headwear! I hope that we see you back out in the hallways soon.
Best,

Michael, we are thinking about you today. Are you thinking about us? We miss you lots and lots. We especially miss Thomas, say Hi! from us. We are glad that you got to take a bath today. A bath always makes us feel better too! Guess What? Matthew won first place yesterday at champs in his 100 IM, that's four laps of the pool, phew! that is a long way. When Megan stepped up to race, she was in lane 5. She said that Thomas is 5 so she would remember. She swam her breast stroke race for you and she did really great, she really turned on the jets and came in third. Not bad for a 7 year old. Maybe we should have a swim a thon in your honor, wouldn't that be fun? You could swim in the bathtub right along with us. We hope you have a great week this week. We love you and Thomas too, Matthew, Megan and Kaitlyn (The cousin Drohans)

Thank you for always focusing on the sunshine. He's our little sunshine. That will help Mrs Virginia was there and grandma and more family coming in.

Hi to all,
So sorry Michael is feeling so lousy. I know you all are very strong, oh so strong. And how about that Gram Ma Jo! How many more days/weeks does the program take? You know I am praying very hard not only for the cure but for strength for all. And I guess, as the old wive's tale goes, the rest is up to God!
Take good care.
Love and prayers,
Camille

To all the Wren family (and extended families). We continue to keep all of you in our prayers. Just read about Beanie"s and Paula's mom and we will definitely add her to our prayers. "When it rains, it pours" but indeed "it is all good". We are so proud of Thomas for giving/sharing his miracle cells. We are so proud of Michael that he has endured this all and still looks like a champ. Love the pics. May God Bless you graciously, abundantly and stupendously (is that even a word???)
With love, Randy, Jan and family.
ps we just found some old pics of Joey and Jewell from about 1994? My have they have changed!!!

Dear Mike and Jean,

I owe you a tremendous thank you for letting me be part of "Thomas and Michael's Miraculous Transplant Day!" (Good name, huh?) What a day of incredible moments, and what a blessing for all of us there to have shared prayer and grace and mystery at Michael's bedside. Michelle will chuckle that "her" word is what has stuck with me...BUT know that I offer the simple prayer "take" continually. I love you both.

p.s. Tell Joey, I'm sorry I haven't gotten the cookies there yet. I promise they are coming! : )

I think of you everyday. I love all the pictures on your website. I have heard how great you are doing--keep it up! I can't wait for you to come to school with me and your brother. (He is pretty tough too just like you!) I have a friend with you at the same place. He is older and his name is Joseph Brown. He had his transplant last week also. Maybe you will see him. Prayers from me to you. Everyone from the Park Road family asks about you everyday. Hoping for a quick recovery for you.

Jewel...WOW! Such a great update! I had no idea you could spell and type (JUST KIDDING!) Joey, Michael and I produced the new "Hatty" comic and it's up for those who like to laugh. We had the best time ever. New pictures are on the way later tonight or tomorrow, so stay tuned.

G'Ma Jo, please let us hear from you often. I like reading your posts and being assured you are recovering without a hitch.

Thomas...You are such a cool kid. I've saved my prayers for this week. You and Michael will be the sole subject. I love you.

Jean, you brave woman! God bless you!
I am sorry about all that your family has had to endure. Your faith is inspirational. It is true that God holds you, Mike, Michael and Thomas, Joey and Jewel and all of your loved ones so tenderly in His hands. As good and as loving as you are, whatever desires and love that you have for your boys, God's are infinitely more tender and good. Trust in Him at all times!
I was so pleased to see the pictures and hear updates. You all have been in my prayers.
love, elizabeth

My name is Ron, and I heard about you through Kira Peoples, who you met at Duke. I am a cyclist, and I ride for the Lance Armstrong Foundation's Peleton Project. When I ride, I wear a list of names of people like you to let them know that they are in my prayers, and that they are never alone in their fight. I read your page, like the turtles by the way, and with you and your family's permission, I would like to add your name to my list. I hope this note finds you well, and you will be in my prayers. Get well soon!!

I do not know if power rangers dance. Do you? We are still praying for you and want you to get better and come home soon. Also we had ice cream cake today that my Pop bought. You met him at the hospital.

Dear Friends,
I really enjoy the photos and read about Michael's progress everyday. This is an awesome tribute to the courage of one little boy and the many people who care about him. Having worked in oncology for 15 yrs. I can say I always felt it was an honor to know those patients and their families. Illness can bring out the very best or the very worst in human beings, but usually the best comes shining through. This is certainly the case with Michael and his wonderful family. Kind of puts your own life in perspective, doesn't it? My love to the Wrens and to my good friends Dave and Ginny. Hang in their folks....this bump in the road will soon be smooth.

I'm So sorry to have missed our visit this week, Michael. Luckily, dad had some pictures he took this week delivered to me so that I could post them for everyone to see how well you're doing. You are amazing to me.

Tim went to his high school prom. He had a great time. I took some pictures. I'll bring them next Saturday, you'll like seeing Tim all dressed up.

I think Miss Virginia is coming with me. She said something about some new toy...or was it a new game??...Hmmmm...maybe she said it was BOTH. We'll have to see next Saturday. Sorry to have missed our visit, buddy. See you soon. Hope you like the new pictures dad took, I know I do.

Michael,
Good night tonight! I have started reading your web page right before prayers and bed every night so I can visit with you, see your pictures and know how you are. Then I pray for you before I go to sleep. We miss you and we are glad that you are feeling better. Here's a funny story for you. Guess who I saw the other night on his bike, riding on the road getting his exercise? Ask Mr. Dave! It was him! And Dara, Mary Hope and I were riding in our car, and I was looking at Mr. Dave so much to see if it was him that I went off the road! But no one got hurt. Dara and Mary Hope thought it was funny! When you see your godfather, tell him you are glad to know he is getting his exercise! I told him that it was me who saw him and went off the road and we had a good joke about it. Give Mommy a kiss for me and have her give one to You for me.

Love,
Miss Cheryl

Charlotte, NC usa - Thursday, May 12, 2005 4:07 PM CDT

Good morning Michael,
Thank you for calling me at work last night! It was fun talking to you.
I forgot to tell you that we have a family of Carolina Wrens in our birdhouse in the back yard! The mommy and daddy are building their nest, and I'll bet by the time you come home again, there will be about 3 or 4 little eggs in the box! She will lay one egg each morning. This is a really cool birdhouse...you can open the one wooden side, and there is a wall of clear plexi-glass (like a sheet of clear plastic) and you can watch the mommy feed the babies, and the eggs hatch, and the baby birds grow...I can't wait for you to see them. You can pick out names for them, ok?
They sing a song, very loudly for such a tiny bird, that sounds like "tea-kettle, tea-kettle, tea-kettle"...a very pretty song. The eggs will be a creamy white with fine brown spots. The mommy and daddy bird are dark rusty brown with beige breasts and bellys and white throats and chins. When the baby birds hatch, they will be covered with a pale gray down. And they eat bugs for food! I watch them bring twigs to the birdhouse every morning and listen to them sing. When you come home...we can sit on the deck, and use binoculars
to watch them up close! Tim has really good binoculars, and I know he'll share with you.
Well, I hope that you have a good day today, and the next time I come up to visit you, I'll bring Candyland for all of us to play, ok?
I love you and miss you.

Michael says..."HEY, I'm not bald YET." Hey, Buddy...I love talking to you, seeing you doing well and watching you PLAY with your brothers and sister and Paul. But, when you put on those Power Rangers sun glasses and your mask, I can't find you anywhere, you trickster!

Jean...I know I'm supposed to say something to you today...Hmmm...oh well, whatever it is, imagine me saying that.

Dear Michael,
You got to have Starburst for breakfast?!! I think your mom is great! I am going to see if my mom will let me have them tomorow. Probly not, but all she can say is no! Maybe she will let me have fruit snacks becaws those are in the pantry and starburst are not. When ever we buy them, she says the pink ones had a problem and she has to eat all those to check them. Then she takes them out and eats only that color herself!

Then she told us once that they were the only ones she liked and she got that from her dad who is our Pop. He took her peanut butter cups out of her Halloween candy and say there was a problem with peanut butter cups this year and kids coud not eat them! Now that we know her trick, it dusent work so she never has starburst any more. We pray for you every day and Dara lit a candle at church for you this week too. I was sick so I was not with her, but we love you and asked God and the angels to make you all better. Love,
Mary Hope and Dara

So...one of the Docs comes in to say hello to Michael. She has a stethoscope around her neck. I tell Michael, "These doctors always ask to hear your heart and lungs with those things, but they never let you hear what it sounds like".

She (the Doc) says, "Michael, do you want to hear what it sounds like?" Michael nods his head. The Doc cleans the ear plugs and inserts them into Michael's ears and puts the stethoscope on her chest.

Michael smiles. She then places the stethoscope on Michael's chest and he smiles more. We all ask him, 'What did it sound like?"

Michael says, "This loud" (holds his hands apart about a foot). I say, "No, make the sound it makes." Michael goes, "Ba-BOOM, Ba-BOOM". We laugh.

Thank you very much, Doctor.

See? I told you everyone would vote you the 'handsomest'. I vote you the handsomest, too.

Hi Sweet and funny little Michael.....I am your neighbor, Kim and I haven't met you yet but can't wait till the day that I can. I do check your website often and did my best to stop the tears when I read you are now home in your own little bed (you do know that people cry sometimes because they are SOOOO happy!) I understand that mostly, you make a lot of people laugh and laugh. Keep smiling sweetheart, and I am going to be dropping off on your front doorstep a BIG box with a BIG Bow on top sometime in the next few days. I can't tell you everything that's in it because I bet you like surprises. BUT, I will give you 1 little hint..... P.R. ....... any guesses?

Hey Michael, thanks for making my brother, Mr. Dave laugh so hard. Not too many people in this world are able to do that and he needs to laugh more cause he worries too much about everything. That's why he loves you so much. You are a happy funny goofy strong superhero who makes everyone feel good. I hope you are feeling good too. I love you buddy. See you in August.

We are so happy to hear that you are making everyone laugh as laughing feels so good and we are glad that you are laughing too! I wished that I could of seen your show that made Mr. Dave laugh so hard. When you are felling a bit better maybe you can do it again when I visit Charlotte. You are one FAN-TAS-TIC Kool Kid!

Say Hi to your Mom & Dad and the rest of the family for me. Mike the pictures with Michael make you look 10 years younger from when I was in Charlotte. We will keep you all in our prayers as I know that you will be "A" OK very soon.

New York, NY - Sunday, April 17, 2005 10:11 AM CDT

I just had to share a bit of the overwhelming joy I feel this morning. During our visit yesterday (April 16th), Michael decided to pull a list of one-liners from all of the movies he's been watching and put on a one-man comedy show for Miss Virginia and myself.

He did the 'HAIRBALL!!' scene from ShrekII, followed by the Donkey's 'That's NASS-TAY!!' and several other quick quips, ending by yelling 'DOG SCRATCH!', whereby he would scratch his left leg with his right foot, all the while laughing as hard as he could.

This went on for over 2 hours, during which time we laughed at stomach-cramping, tears-streaming level, until I thought I would never be able to laugh again.

The nurse came in and noticed Michael's pulse rate was very high. She became alarmed enough to call the resident on call Doctor who came to the room and thoroughly examined Michael's vitals, etc.

The result? The Nurse and Doctor began laughing as well! The Doctor assured everyone that Michael was fine as she and everyone wore the biggest smiles...courtesy of Michael, who had us all in stitches.

I don't know if laughter is the best medicine, but I surely do know that during yesterday's visit, I've never felt better in my life!

THANK YOU, MICHAEL!!

Hello to Michael and his family. Meredith with Dr M. shared this website with me, I work at the Arb office. Our family knows something of what you are facing, my nephew was diagnosed with stage four Neuroplasoma at age 15 months. He had wonderful doctors as I know Michael has and was placed on many, many prayer lists. He turned 24 yr last October. I will share this site with coworkers and we will all be praying for Michael and add him to our church prayer lists.
With many good thoughts and prayers for a healthy recovery,

It was good to talk to you on the phone, and to Mr.Dave too. I'm glad you could enjoy spiderman together.
Today is special to me because it would have been my dad's 100th birthday. I know he is in heaven so I'm asking him to help you in all you need.
My sister, your great aunt Mo sends her love too, and she will write as soon as she learns how to use her computer (not as easy for grown ups as for kids, I bet you know how already!)

Hi "My Favorite Michael!"

I cannot tell you what a GREAT time I had watching "Power Rangers" with you yesterday. AND eating bugles. AND playing "Barrel of Monkeys!" It was magic.

Peek out your window and look at the perfect pine tree. I promise every pine tree I see today will remind me of you and our visit.

Keep eating lots of wonderful food...maybe even one of those popsicles they keep bringing. The orange ones are especially good.

I love you, Michael. (Mom and Dad too.)

Hi again!
First, I apologize for incorrectly addressing my last note. Because the journal entry was signed by Meg, I wrote her name instead of Jean's. (a case of the last name in my head!) Jean is my neighbor and we spoke at the bus stop when you were waiting on Thomas with Michael.
I would again like to offer my assistance in any way if needed, please let your family know that I am available and just down the road on Green Cane.

I've been reading your journal entries and it all sounds very encouraging. I know it is sad to see Michael so sick and losing his hair, but do focus on the positives - attitude is so important to recovery.
I wish you all the best and hope to see you come home to our neighborhood soon! Michael, you sound like a very brave little boy. Keep up the good work! :) You'll be running and biking again before you know it. In the meantime, take it easy (as easy as a three year old can!) and listen to your mommy and daddy and the doctors - they're all working to make you better. I'll be keeping you all in my prayers.

Best Wishes,
Paula Birindelli (and Blake, Brett, and Devin)

Hello, Wren Family. I am do glad to hear that Michael is doing well and back to his room today. Norine has told me about your situation and you are all in my thoughts. I would like you to know that you are more than welcome to stay at my home anytime. Even if you just need a kitchen to cook a meal in, a place to do laundry, or someplace other than a hospital to breathe in. My condo is right off of I40 in Chapel Hill. Norine has a key and you are welcome to come and go freely. Norine has my number, etc. to get ahold of me. Best thoughts for you and your family.

Dear Michael,
I hope you feel better. Hopie and I pray for you every day in the morning and night. I want you to feel better so we can play at my house again. I love you. I have a treat for you that is a rainbow sucker. It is SO big. I might send it in a present because Mommy has some things to send you and your mom too. I like your pictures. I think you are saying, "Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!" in one picture. I miss your smile and get all better soon. And I love you.

Hi Michael--this is Christopher and I am one of your cousins. I'm 5 years old and I live in Maplewood, NJ. My Grammie and your Grandma Jo are sisters so that makes us cousins. You came to Grammie's house one time but you were only a baby. Thomas and me had pancakes. I made you a card. Did you get it? I hope you feel better soon and can come visit at Grammie's house again so we can play power rangers. I have 2 sisters (Nina and Erin) and they want to play with you too (but they're girls so they are not good at power rangers)
Love, Christopher

Hi, Dave is our contractor working on a new kitchen for our home. Dave has shared your son's story with our family. Our family is praying for Michael Patrick every day! I had breast cancer in 2001 and went through surgery and chemotherapy. I understand what you all are going through. It is also a small world, I met Michale Patrick's Aunt at St Matthew's School last week at a field trip. She was telling us about her nephew and I realized it was Michael Patrick. I am telling every one I know to pray for him, so I already feel that Michale Patrick must have a bunch of angels around him to make him healthy again! Sincerly, Patty

Michael, I spent three months throwing up (all day long) when I was pregnant with your cousins Megan and Kaitlyn.....so I know how you are feeling! All I can say is you rock big guy and hang in there, it will get better! We all miss you here at team Drowren.....It was rainy today but just thinking about your amazing smile brought sunshine to our grey day.....Matthew, Megan,Kaitlyn and Thomas all miss you a lot. Cousin Jimmy is in China and sends you his love......Thomas had a lot of fun yesterday. I picked him up a little early from school so he could go to art class with Matthew and the girls....He was the hit of the class. It turns out that Mrs. Shaw (the art teacher) went to Park Road Montessori Elementary school almost 50 years ago.....! She is really neat! We can't wait for you to meet her. Thomas drew a wonderful picture of a lion. Mrs. Shaw hung it up in the art gallery. He will have to bring it with him when he comes to see you.....In the meantime consider yourself King of the Jungle....Lots and lots of hugs and kisses.......XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX. P.S. Give mom and dad a big hug and kiss from us too!

I'm your neighbor on Green Cane, we've talked before. I just wanted you to know that I am so sad to hear about Michael. Please let me know if I can do anything to help.
It sounds like you are getting some encouraging news lately, I hope it continues and that Michael will go into remission. I just lost my mother in January to cancer, and she was an oncology nurse, so I have much empathy for what you must be going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My name is Kim and I live in Raintree - so we are neighbors! Your Daddy and Dave built a beautiful room for my house. It's like a movie room. I know that you are not feeling well, but I am sure that you will feel better soon. There are so many people that have you in their thoughts and prayers. Did I read in one of your messages that you like Power Rangers? I happen to have some in a big box with a BIG bow tied around it and it has your name on it. I'll find out if I can mail it to you there at the hospital or have it waiting for you when you get home. By the way, Dave was telling me what a smart and really funny boy you are. And cute too! I love your pictures and hope to get to meet you someday soon. Try to keep a smile on your face, Sweetheart and hurry home.

*This note is dictated to Mommy from Dara and Mary Hope.
Dear Michael,
We hope you will feel better soon. We went to Target and we got to pick a treat for a snack. Dara picked chocolate chip cookies in a bag, but we could only have one because they are too good and good stuff comes only a small part at a time here unless you do something great like learn all the letters or potty train. Then you get more. Dara wanted to pick a treat for you. When you come home we will eat it at our house next time we play together. We picked big suckers because last time we played you and Thomas had big, sticky suckers! We know you will like them. Mommy put them in the can in the pantry. We were not in there but we heard the lid go down. We won't eat them now, unless you don't like suckers. If you don't, please tell us soon (!) Exclamation point belongs to Mom, who must go now to change the place where we hide the candy in our house! Ha!
We all love you and miss you, Michael. We are sending a present in the mail now that we have your address. We will write again soon.

Love, Mary Hope, Dara and Cheryl

And being so cooperative with all the stuff like the circle test. You are one teriffic fellow and we love you. Love, Grandma Jo and Uncle Joe.
Dear Mike and Jean,
It was so good to see you, and hats off to you both for being there for Michael. He is tolerating all the stuff so well because of that. And a huge thanks to those who facilitate that happening.

YES, Indeed Michael will be cured and this brilliant and very Cool Kid will be back at it 1000 & 1 per cent very soon. I have only had the privilege of knowing Michael for a short time during my visit to Charlotte last year but this kid is already a memory that one can only see a bright future. Thank God!

To Mike & Jean . . . It is so hard to see this innocent babe suffer and the suffering that you both are going through is just as bad if not worse. Our hearts and prayers go out to the both of you and all you children. Keeping your faith and family unit will make this brief period in life a thing of the past and bring bright rays of sunshine in the not so distant future.
