Michael is doing great!

Michael has been doing so well, that they hope he will go home tomorrow.  They took out the last of his tubes yesterday and feel confident that he is almost ready to head home (it helps that Michael is also VERY ready to go home, too).  They will let us know today if he'll head home tomorrow.

Thank you to you all for the love, support, and prayers.  Michael is doing great.

(PS - if you read this earlier, it said Michael was going home today.  Sorry for the irresponsible, yet optimistic, journalism.  It could be tomorrow, instead.)

Michael the artist (staving off boredom by painting everything)!









Michael making a break for it with Nana chasing after him.  He made it as far as the sidewalk.

Michael decorating his car with tape (and a very clear sign that they were running out of activities to do in the hospital).
