OutBack Critters

I have been away almost constantly since the end of June. I am so happy to hear of Mikes progress. Mike is so a much a part of my prayers now, I feel closer to The Lord now when I talk to Him abut Mikes health. What a blessing it is knowing that God is, as always, the one in charge and we are along for the ride and ever seeking His wisdom and care.
Please take care of yourself Lori and therefore Mike. Kiss Scoobie for this old gal.

Thank you so very much Dixie...for all of your prayers all of these monthes...This WHOLE YEAR...My Mike is making amazing progress, I had him home last night for an over night visit. His doctor approved him for it, it was so wonderful to sleep in bed with my special myracle man....we slept well and that is an understatement of course. I am feeling so wonderful about everything that I took my step daughter out to eat tonight. It was a much needed get a way for us both. This year has been a long haul on all of us, God is testing us and I will NOT FAIL.
Just a quick note to let you know I am so happy for Mike's improvements. I will continue to pray for Mikes healing and for his family and friends to continue to rally round him, and you too. Please take care of yourself too Lori. You won't be there to take care of Mike if you get sick too. Praise the Lord for His loving care and His will in all things. Be well

THANKYOU SUE~Was just reading through the site, I am going to pass this information on to Mikes doctors. THANKS AGAIN~

Lori,
Check this website out, it could pertain to Mike's cindition. Candidafree.net/resource-3.htm Hope it helps.

Good for you Lori. I have changed my "Mike prayers" in a different direction. I will pray for the compassion of those who have met Mike and know him. Even a 10 minute "how ya doing Mike?" visit would be a big help. Even the feed store people should have that much sense if they know about him. Please tell Mike that even though I don't know him, he is in my prayers several times a day and Gods arm is as long as His hearing so I know all will be as God would have it, and the compassionless will have to live with what they have done. (or not done actually). God bless you both.

Sitting down and writing this will I am sure cause some hurt feeling or bad feelings. I am sorry if it does, but this whole site an everything written has been and is about Mike! I have to add my two cents, people who know me know this is just me. When Mike was in GB he had some visitors, Lori of coarse, Tommy, Ma, Steve, Lori's mom, Bev. And a few others. Mickey you started out so good and now where are you? Come on Mickey I'm rutten for ya to get back in there and visit dad like before. Kellie, I can't believe you are just going about your life like nothing has changed. Would it be too much to see dad twice a week? Not much time when you think of all he has done for you. Not too much when he has always been there when you needed him, he needs you now. It's your turn! Not much time when you think God has given us one day at a time to be on this earth, and tomorrow may be too late for that visit. Dad needs his kids NOW! He has always been so proud of you both.
Ya ever think that maybe mom, Lori might need you in her life too? She is not Super Woman to carry this all by herself. She needs you kids too. Kellie I never thought you to be a selfish person, I have always thought so highly of you, now I am not so sure of what I think of you! Take the time Kellie so you have no regrets to live with.
Have any of you thought that maybe just maybe Lori needs some time to grab a piece of life for herself. Some Lori time. Ever think of saying that you will go sit with Mike and give her some time to get her stuff done. Have anyone of you really taken a good look at what is happening to our Lori? Good God, I am afraid to squeeze around her. She needs a break too.
Ever notice what a wife she is? ALWAYS at Mike's side fighting for him to fight and try to get better? When was the last time any of you have done that for Mike?
Ever put your self in Mike's/dad's place? One small room! Think of it! Ever been there, if yes you know, I know Tommy does all too well. He is there day in and day out, waiting for someone to walk through that door. Wondering why no one does, excpet for a few. Wondering, when is that phone gonna ring? Wondering when his kids will walk through that door and ask how I am doing? Wondering, when are things gonna change so I can go home?
He needs ALL of us, and that is when he will have to stop wondering and be able to really come back home for good, but we have to help him!
The same people sign the guest book, the same people call Lori...the same people say the much needed prayers. Thank God for them. Mike knows those people are pulling for him.
There Tommy, I know you thought it and felt the same way so I guess I had to say this all for Our Mike, and for us!

I meant I am afraid to Sneeze around Lori. Not squeeze...LOL I am sure those that have seen Lori see how she is doing. Last thing we need is for her to get sick!
