Mike's Final Days Are Here...

Wow - I can't believe it has been almost three months since I updated this blog. I apologize to those of you out there who have been using this as a means to keep up with Mike's cancer journey.

Mike has been unable to beat his cancer, but it hasn't taken him easily. Mike is now in a coma and while he doesn't talk or anything, the nurse says that he can hear us. Judy has been extremely strong and she has been surrounded by her family and friends over this past week.

Mike was still walking and talking until earlier this past week. I believe it was sometime Wednesday that he went into what the nurse is calling "a coma" and she had said then that he probably wouldn't make it through the night. He didn't have a blood pressure or anything. But then the next day he had his blood pressure back and he is still hanging on.

Mike & Judy's daughter, Michelle, has been staying with Judy and other family members are there on and off throughout the days and evenings.

It is a really sad time right now but Mike wouldn't want us to be sad for him. He is just that type of person.
