Friday Evening 3/23

Mike has had a busy day with evaluations and therapy from Speech, PT and OT specialists. His body is strong and his new hips are working perfectly with no pain.

The hardest work for Mike right now is memory, word association, cognitive skills and speech. Because of the aggressive therapies to rehab him, he needs periods of total rest and lack of stimulation. Therefore, we ask for no visitations until further notice. We need your continued love, support and prayers for his full recovery.

Suzie spends at least 12 hours a day at Mike's side assisting in communication. She receives your messages but is unable to return each call. She is lifted by your voices of concern and love and sends her deep gratitude to each of you. Please continue to reach out. Mike is able to read and loves getting cards from you.

Home address:
6264 168th Place SE
Bellevue, WA 98006

We have no report yet as to a potential return to home. Thank you ALL for your part in helping Mike be a MIRACLE.

It's hard for us to stay away! We respect your need for time to concentrate on your progress, buddy. I've mapped out an itinerary leaving Sunday, headed for Phoenix on the bike. The first item on the route is to ride over to Swedish and say hello to you (in my helmet and leathers, again.) I wanted to see you before I head off, so you'll know that I'm thinking of you. I will be. In light of the blog request, I won't come to Swedish, and will take you with me on the rather long motorcycle adventure. And, I'll see you when I'm back.

Love, crybaby George
