Initially, after T.J.'s first email detailing Michael's recent decision to stop treatment, our family expected to host a steady stream of visitors in and out to see our boy. However, we've realized that logistically it's not that easy...we've found that Michael needs a lot of rest...so we've had to re-think things.
As of now, mom, dad and T.J. are keeping our eyes on him, with the support of close family. We hope you understand that we are only doing what is best for Michael.

Today was a good day. We met Michael's hospice nurse (another Mike!), who was happy to meet our Michael. Mike was happy with Michael's appearance, demeanor and vital signs and Mike will continue to visit once/twice a week. Michael ate well and overall, he had a solid day with a few naps (or 2 or 3!) Mike explained that this is normal and he had no time-line at this point.
We know A LOT of you want to stop by and say hello and visit Michael. As much as we want him to see everyone, we also know that Michael needs to rest well, eat properly and remain isolated from a lot of germs, etc.
We love you all and cannot thank you enough for your thoughts, prayers, text messages, and other forms of correspondence and love. If we don't get right back to you, please know those good vibes don't go unnoticed.
