I just read the whole thread. I had no idea it was Mike. My prayers continue going out, but I'm so glad to read that he's awake!!
Mike updates: Mixed news here. I have an address where Mike's husband is staying and will give it privately upon request. Any cards, flowers, or anything you want to send should go there. The bad news is that his body is fighting the transplant and he is heavily sedated after another seizure. The good news is that he's cognizant enough that, through S, he and I argued about the meaning of a passage in The Tempest (Act IV, Scene 1, 148-158). :wub: I promised S that I would double down on getting the teacher prayer chain going, so please, think of our dear young man. He isn't out of the woods yet.
Thank you for the update, as mixed as it is. I believe wholeheartedly that God answers and honors prayers. He's not done with Mike yet. The prayers continue.
I'm a late addition to the prayer chain. I don't know how I missed this thread. I noticed recently that Mike had not posted for a while. Prayers to Mike and his loved ones. Thanks for being involved cat.
Mike just called me! My heart is so full to bursting! How am I supposed to teach when all I want to do is dance?
Okay, now that I'm done my main lecture for the day, I can think straight (Mike called 15 minutes before I took over from science class). He still sounded a little out of it and complained that he really needs a shower, but he was out of bed and moving around for the first time in two weeks. I warned him that some of us may be sending things to his apartment, and he was overwhelmed that so many AtoZ people were rooting for him. Otherwise, we talked literature (he wanted to know what I was teaching), argued about theater, and gave a lot of verbal hugs.
Praise God for this news! Very happy to hear this! Cat, if possible, may I PM you for Mike's address? Or is there some type of PO Box or such in case I want to make a card for him?
This is wonderful news! And Cat, THANK YOU for keeping us in the loop and helping this really be community.
NOW I have an update. Mike is being discharged from the hospital this morning! Not sure if he's going back to his place or is staying with his mother in law, but I'm sure all he wants is a shower and some quiet.
