Saturday, September 8th – Day +110

Hi Everyone,

I am still putting the plus sign in front of the Day number because even though Mike is in a very seriously vulnerable state right now there is still hope.  I had a good talk with his doc today.  I laid things on the line.  I just cannot see pushing Mike to survive if it is for naught.  But, his doc told me that there is still HOPE.  The bladder virus can get better, however if Mike were to get an infection at this time it would be very bad.  We talked about decisions that need to be discussed so that we are prepared to do the best thing for Mike at all times.

It was a very tough day today for me.  Mike did recognize me a couple of times.  Once was really funny because he wanted me to get out of there with him!  He was quite infatic and then the next minute he was not with me totally.  The hospital has a “sitter” with Mike when a family member isn’t there.  It is for Mike’s saftely because he tries to get up and really cannot right now.  Tonight a man named Duane was with him.  I told him how much I appreciated the fact that he would take his time to be with my brother.  He is a computer guy and does this on the side.

I talked to Joe and Mom today and will talk to John and Barb this weekend. Bruce talked to Rick and Sally.  I just want to know that we are all on the same page.  Bruce and I are Mike’s medical advocates and we will be the ones called upon to make decisions IF the need arises.  I will just feel better knowing that we all are in agreement about Mike’s care. 

Right now Mike is still on the long road to recovery and we’ll just keep praying that he stays on that path!  Thanks for all of your support and prayers.

love, Ann
