Love and Brilliant Minds

Everyone got a good night's sleep last night.

Michael's swelling has gone down, which is necessary in order to stitch up his chest tomorrow. This is the medical team's biggest concern, but they are monitoring it closely and are pleased with his progress.

Meg was in to wish little Mick a good morning and the doctor said that all of his signs continue to trend in the right direction. Meg and Tom will meet with the cardiology team later today.

The medical staff has done an extraordinary job in caring for Michael, and we could not be more grateful.

Michael has gotten this far thanks to prayers, love, hard work and brilliant minds.
