A Mothers Heart

Today makes three weeks since since the accident. When something like this happens, your life comes to a complete halt. Life will never be the same regardless of the outcome. This is not something a mother should ever have to deal with.


Rather than dwell on the difficult aspects, let me just post a pictures of Michael in his better days.

And I think this picture is adorable. Don't they both look like they are in love?!

I appreciate the many phone calls, emails, and cards. I take such comfort in being surrounded by friends. Please continue to pray for Michael.

Big Mike

It's another late night at the hospital. For those of you who haven't heard, Michael was in a serious motorcycle accident last Monday night as he was coming home from Lisa (his fiance) home. He has been unconscious for a week. His body is beginning to heal...he had reconstruction surgery on his face, today had a rod put in to his leg to repair his femur, his scrapes are beginning to heal but his brain experienced severe trauma and that is the cause of our extreme concern.

We have seen and experienced miracles almost daily. Some of the nurses here have been angels to Michael and to us as we keep our vigil by Michael's side. His friends have been here almost constantly just sitting in the waiting room to offer support. I even had friends from Corona who now live in Utah who have come by.

Lisa is an amazing woman. I feel like it has been real gift to get to know her at this level and to feel her strength through this challenge. She has shared so many stories with me about her relationship with Michael and we have laughed and cried together on many occasions. It also does my heart good to hear all of the kind things that people have to say about my son. He hasn't lived at home for 8 years so it has been good to see who he have become as a man. All of his friends call him Big Mike and have expressed to me how many quiet acts of service he has done for them.

Please continue to offer your prayers in his behalf. We can feel the strength from them. I will update you as there is something to update about
