Michael is still in critical condition.

He is a fighter and is working hard this morning. He has made it 20 hours now since surgery and that is good news.

Meg and Thomas are going to go see him now (after a few hours sleep - thank goodness). We'll update you when they get back.

In the meantime, please know that words can't express our appreciation.

Love always.

Good Morning Irwin Family!
I am so happy to hear Michael made it through the night. I have to believe that with all the love around him he has no choice but to stay strong and keep fighting. We're keeping all of you in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

Meg and Tommy, you are amazing parents and no family should have to go through such a difficult time. I will be thinking of you all and praying for Michael. He has fought this long and hard and I have a feeling he's ready to continue his fight. He's a true Connolly/Irwin!
Love always~

Meg, Thomas and Michael,
My heart just breaks for all the pain you are going through. I wish I could be there just to hug you. You have had the most amazing strength throughout your entire pregnancy and believed when so many were sceptical. Your faith will carry you through. I have felt Nana and Papa speaking in heaven and in a very feisty tone to all above help Michael pull through. You have taught us to never give up. We are with you!
Caitlin, thank you for this gift.
We love you!
Patsy, Jim, Kate, Lisa and Tori
