. . . since I have posted. But unfortunately, not since Mike has been in the hospital. Mike is back in....exactly 4 weeks to the day since his last admission. Even though it has only been 4 weeks he will stay in the hospital for 2 weeks once again. He is pretty sick. We were so blessed to have a couple of spans where he actually went 8 weeks or a little more without going in. He was out and about on his motorcycle, dancing and even made a trip to Michigan (even though it was pretty stressful for him).
Mike has lost a lot of weight. His lungs are down to 31%. He was in a dance routine with about 12 other people for Halloween. He didn't want to let the group down. He danced three performances in one night. The group was awesome. I got to go see him. Julie really does a great job with these group performances. If you ever get the chance to see one - go for it. You won't be disappointed.
Mike struggled. He danced and coughed until he threw up and then danced some more. Two days later he was admitted. He is still struggling. His dad went down to see him yesterday. He enjoyed the visit. He is trying to get out every day to walk. His back hurts from the hospital bed. He coughs so much.
