Done and thank for setting it up. Had a friend go thru this - Michael and even more so for now his family will have a long road ahead. MXers are tough, let's hope for good recovery

Thank you! It’s the least I can do for him and the family.

God bless this young man and his family during this time.  You will be kept in my prayers.  And for those who feel this is down vote worthy, I pray for you as well.  And hope you are never in a life threatening situation where the only strategy left is hope, prayer and faith.Screenshot 12 0

I don’t understand why a down vote button was installed in the forum. You can post the most positive post and you will always have  down votes. Very annoying.

03D80193-F312-4D4D-AF9F-0029F2A6C3B8Michael is one tough guy! This past year he has got into hiking and peaked some local mountain tops. Including his latest one cactus to clouds which is a 20 mile hike. If anyone knows how to push himself physically and mentally its him 💪🏽

That's  a serious trail one of the toughest day hikes around 👍

It’s definitely a tough one, but fun. If he enjoys that he is definitely a fighter. When he gets healthy, we will have to do a group hike up C2C to celebrate for him!

IMG 4312 0I was able to visit Michael this past week. He is currently in a long term hospital in Ontario. He will stay there for a couple weeks and eventually will be moved to an assisted living location. 


His condition remains the same. As of now he is able to move his eyes and his right hand. Unfortunately he does not recognize people and is unresponsive as of now. It may take up to a year to see real progress according Doctors. 


I met his mom Beth, she is a strong women that has high hopes that he recovers. She is there with her son everyday. If anyone missed the go fund me I’ll repost it. It’s a long journey ahead and anything helps the family. Michael was the provider to his mother and brother, so any help is much appreciated. 


Thank you

This has been gut wrenching from the very beginning. Can’t even begin to imagine what his Mom is going thru let alone Michael as well as his brother. This family needs all the prayers we can all give plus some. I really hope they can see some progress soon to take some of the heavy load off them. Some light at the end of the tunnel.

Didn't know there was a long term hospital in Ontario. I've heard great things about Casa Colina in Pomona. Thank you for the updates.

Wow guys, it’s awesome to come on here and see people donating! 

His mom is now set up to be the beneficiary of the funds. Co workers and I will also be planning a possible food fundraiser in the future. We won’t forget about Michael while he’s recovering. 
 

Thanks again for all your donations, thoughts and prayers!

Your a good friend - I've been thru this with a close friend. Michael will be getting good care but for sure but his family is going to need lots of support.....now and going forward.

Sending them home made or prepared food so they an eat before and after Hospital visits is truly invaluable.....good idea.

Positive vibes kid - keep fighting.....it's a long moto

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t posted any updates on Michael. Everything remained the same until recently.

 

“Michael is back at RUHS in ICU because they think his shunt is not working properly.  Tomorrow (2/2/24) is Michael's birthday and I would appreciate any birthday wishes that I could read to him.  I would also appreciate it if you could pass this information along.  Thanks”

“He's had a few complications and we think that has hindered him from gaining neurologically. So hopefully getting his shunt working properly will help him.”
