Mike Went to Doctor's Today




Mike had his doctor's appointment and he was rather disappointed when he left. The doctor told him that he can not return to work for at least another 2 - 3 months. He has to have another pet scan but they can't do the scan for another 2 - 3 months due to all of the radiation in his body. He's still not allowed to drive either.

The good news is that Mike gained a pound and he is feeling pretty good.

Keep saying prayers for Mike, as not being able to work is really hard for him.

Donations For Mike



Mike has been unable to work for quite a while now and it is still unknown whether he will be able to go back anytime soon. He is the income provider for him and Judy, so with only short-term disability coming in, I'm sure it's starting to get financially tight. If you would like to make a donation, just click on the Donate button below and you will be taken to a secure Paypal site where you can do just that!


We thank everyone who has made contributions for Mike. The support has been greatly appreciated.



















Inspiration For Today...



Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I...I will lift it for you



Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I...I will break it for you



Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved



Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I...I will be there to find you



Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I...I will shine to guide you



Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved



You are loved
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Every one needs to be heard
You are loved

Cold

Judy said Mike is having trouble staying warm. He's been trying to keep busy around the house to help pass the time. They have been working on cleaning out their basement and doing some other needed chores so at least he has something to do. She said they work a while then rest a while.

Mike hopes he can go back to work soon once he's able to drive. It's hard for Mike to not work. That's all he's ever done is work constantly. His body needs the time off though.

Mike Has FInished Radiation

Mike has now finished his radiation treatments. He has lost a total of 12 more pounds, though so they are hoping to have some weight back on him by the time he goes back to see the doctor on March 31st.

Judy says that he is feeling better and he is able to use his right hand now but he still doesn't have a lot of strength in it. He still cannot work, but even though that is hard for Mike not do work, it is probably for the best. He needs a lot of time to gain some strength and taking a break will be good for his body.

The doctor says that he cannot go back to work until he is able to drive again. He is hoping that by the end of the month when he sees the doctor he will be allowed to drive.
