Recuperation has not been easy for Mike. His face is swollen, bruised and somewhat distorted. The removal of bone, the manipulation of his eye, trying to control bleeding - recovering from all of this will take some time. BUT, HE WILL RECOVER!
I must sing the praises of my children. They have just been troopers, working together to get everything done so I could concentrate on Mike. Phone calls, texts, hospital visits, chauffeuring us around, filling the house with food and just loving each other. Truly a testament to a cohesive family.
The outpouring of love and concern from extended family just left us speechless. Mike was amazed when I was reading him the messages.
We have been truly blessed with wonderful family and friends. It is times like these when you realize and feel the love that surrounds you everyday. We are humbled by the attention, yet we continue to ask for prayers until this nightmare is behind us.
