Mighty MikeyD the
Middletown Miracle in sneakers has gone from being in a wheelchair with
both his legs in casts barely able to speak and hardly able to use his arms
last thanksgiving to walking around smiling at everyone he meets.
Even though MikeyD still has a long way to go we are Thankful to God and all of
you that he has come back this far with the help of all your prayers and
support. We Cannot thank all of you enough. The MikeyD 3 on 3 was a great event
and a great day for MikeyD you can see him with all his classmates in the
picture above. MikeyD even handed out the trophies to the winners of the
tournament . We could tell he was so happy to be back at Bayshore by the smile
on his face and when we got home that night he asked me dad when will I
be going back to Bayshore. I only wish I could of given him an answer . We are
hoping and praying that he will be able to return to Bayshore sometime next year.
Yesterday some of the Baseball players from Kean University came to the hospital
to see mighty MikeyD and they presented him with a team baseball uniform and a
real nice Nike wind breaker they made his day.
MikeyD has saved a
few lives already and will continue to do so we are having the CHOP Medical
team come to Saint Mary's on April 26th the Mighty MikeyD Heart screening will
be free to all children in Middle and High School grades. I wish we could of
had it sooner but scheduling was tough and I needed some time for the fund
raising to pay for the screening, Please help me spread the word for the screening
to all Children not just Middletown but children from any town in the area that
can make it are welcome. Dr. Vetter said we do not want people to sign up too
early because they forget about it. We will have an on line sign up we will
post it on the blog as we get closer. I also need some nurses if you know any
Nurse Fran from Bayshore is going to help us and we will also need some Admin
Volunteers if you can help us please let me know. I really appreciate it. Thank
you all again for everything especially Praying and posting your kind words of
support here for MikeyD.
Please remember MikeyD in your prayers on this
Thanksgiving As Well.
We wish all of you and
your families a Happy, Healthy and Blessed Thanksgiving from all the Doherty’s

Me Thanksgiving Day Prayer
O
God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help
By word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help
By word and deed,

Amen.
