He opened his eyes often for his parents and chose to blow bubbles of affection their way. Meg sang him lullabies. As they said goodnight, Michael reached out and grabbed his dad's finger. Needless to say, they stuck around for a little while longer.
Again, they were witness to the battle of the nurses, with two different ones wanting to care for him. As one of the most easy-going and adorable babies, we can see why Mick's the center of so much attention.
They are slowly and carefully lowering Michael's blood pressure medication and oxygen levels and he's doing great. They will attempt to wean him off of the respirator by Monday, so continue those good thoughts coming.
Tonight we had a makeshift Team Mick conference call. Here's a picture of Meg wearing the new "Team Mick" scrubs (check out the pocket) while having both of Michael's aunts on speakerphone. Lindsay, Meg's manager, had these scrubs made up for everyone in the family. We love them and can't wait for our group photo.
Lots of Love.

What a fashion statement! You should think of "Team Mick" attire.
It has been a memorable weekend celebrating Sean's graduation. We are so proud of him and all of you for taking on life's challenges with strength, faith, and love.

Good Morning little Mick!
Went to mass this morning at the church your Nana and Grampa got married at on Cape Cod. Was able to tell your amazing story of faith, hope, love and determination to Father Mark. Father was so inspired by the grace of God and the power of prayer, that he asked if he could pass your story onto others.Father will keep you in his prayers as will all of us.
We are so proud of your parents and of you. Keep up the good fight little one.
We love the team Mick attire. You truely are a star for sure.
All our love to you and your amazing family!!! Love,Rose,Bill,Bryan and Kristin

Sending our loving prayers coast to coast, especially for the respirator to be successfully removed on Monday. Hope you are getting the needed rest !
