Two Late Night SurPRIZE Visitors for MC


Hello everyone - here is a continuation of last night.  After my post last night Mike had a few visitors.
First I'd like to make mention that Kelsey, Mike's long time neighbor came to see him.  Also my son Brandon came by with Bill Sanger who donated time and talent to paint a motorcycle with the proceeds going to Mike. 

Kelsey has been living across the street from Mike in the same cul-de-sac since the day she was born more than 19 years ago.  It was an overwhelming reunion for both of them. 

Here's Kelsey sharing a BIG smile with MC.  He was so happy to see her.  
Just like a visit with one of his daughters. 

Here is the Bill Sanger Donation for Mike and a first time meet up. 
My son Brandon came in the room first. He is always excited to see Mike. 

Here is Bill Sanger the Bike Painter and donor of his proceeds meeting Mike. 
Mike was very moved by these riders who came in to meet with him, hear his story and share their hearts with him. 

(I had to include this)  Before Mike could visit with the guests in the room, his nurse Chris came in to take his vitals.  I have to say - I understand the timing on this because it's every few hours, but.... This guy must have asked Mike every question in the book.  Like what's your pain level?  Not just the general pain level but he went through every part of his body wanting to know a pain level number on every bone or organ. Than he had to wiggle toes and I thought for sure he was trying to find reasons to "show off" his medical talents?  Is that possible?  It became a little funny yet a little obnoxious too.  :-)

Here's the group watching and listening to Nurse Chris teach and control the entire conversation of the room for WAY too long.  Oh My.  I don't think we actually learned anything but Chris did.  haha

So here's the crew next to Mike. 
Brandon my son. Bill the bike painter and donator of time and talent. Amber, Bill's lovely wife. 
(They have 5 kids)  And Derek the wonderful young gentleman who purchased the paint job.  

Here is Derek presenting Mike with the donation money.  

I followed the riders out to their bikes in the parking garage.  It was a cold night and I had a hard time thinking they were going to be warm enough.  Here they are getting geared up and ready to depart.  The 4 of them met and rode in together, however they all departed in different directions.  
(Except Bill and Amber - duh) 


Be safe everyone! 
Thanks for caring so much!

The BIG PS is: 
Mike has a new room!!  Yeah - it's a BIG room with a beautiful view and it's so therapeutic
He loves it and he has been sitting in his chair almost all day.  So happy about that.
