Dear Michael,
You're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure this is not what you and your family expected but it sounds like you are a young man with a strong fighting spirit! You have been through so much but keep fighting the fight like you have for so long already and soon you can say good bye to the hospital and be onto the next step, rehab. Rehab will be a snap for you after all you have endured, then you can go home and get stronger and healthier and do all the thing you were planning to do after surgery. You will be healthy again because you have shown all of us what you are made of. You are an inspiration in strength and spirit, to all of us. The worst is behind you...everyday I hope you will feel better, ready to take on the world and begin a whole new life.
My support goes to your obviously loving family. Please know that you are not alone. Thanks SO much for keeping us updated on Michael. Take good care of all of you.
Love to you, Irish
