Ditto Gee's comment. From all of Ice you are an inspiration to us all. We enjoy watching you take this setback and being a man for others in the way you have approached this. Best Regards,

You are my inspiration friend.

Hi Mike,
Could you send your current email address to me, I haven't been able to get a response from the one that I have. Thanks.

Great job out on the slopes today! Many more runs to go. Pictures have been uploaded, just need to figure out how to post. Erin? Ruthie? HELP!

Hey Mikey! Just wanted to pop in to say hello! I wanted to let you know that I continue to think about you and pray for you - even though it seems like you are doing much better. And now I get to congratulate you on being a Grandpa Take care of yourself and remember that I always love you.

Alright now you have your leg, all you need now is the software then you can program it so you can bowl with your leg. It's about damn time! lol!

Mike:
Maybe this second try will work. Congradulations to Erin for the Blog and the idea. This is inspiring and I would hope to add some observations as you progress, particularly in your Trail Hike training.

OK Mike, I'm still checking in and am anxious to hear how it's going with your C-leg.I see you got hooked up with PT which will be so important and valuable to your learning experience. You'll be great!!! Anyway, you'd better come up and see us at Metro when you're in the area. Keep in touch! (And don't break a leg in your debut!)

Hey Mike,
Just remember, next bowling season I'm teaching you how to through a "hook bowl"! So get your leg already and lets go. See ya buddy.

Hi Mike! I tried to call you today (10/26/07) but had to leave you a message, bummer! Anyway, it was great to hear your voice on my voicemail earlier this week. I miss you a lot, esp your smile and enthusiam. I'm glad to hear that your prosthesis will be in the works and I know you're excited too. It's going to be an amazing experience, wish I could be a part of that as I know you'll do awesome! You will have to come up soon for a visit, I can't wait to see you up on 2 feet again. If you or your therapist have any questions at all, please call me. I wish you all the best!

Hey Mike!!! It is your personal nurse!!Ha! I just want to tell you how much you made an impression on me!! WOW! THe things that we take for granted in life! I have told my family what a great person you are and the attitude towards life...you are really a special person. You deserve all the happiness !Thanks for teaching me more about life! Live each day as its your last and always laugh and smile! You are very funny,too! Take care and keep in touch!Good luck with the new leg!!

Mike, "stump rides," going up GG's stairs on your crutches (no chair lift), and the promise of two new legs soon, just some of the firsts we witnessed during HaaserPalooza. Did you see Emma try to walk like you with her two giant Lego "crutches"? What a hoot! Amazing is the word for you, Mike.You are such an inspriration to those who even have an inkling of what you have been through. Love you, Trish

Can't wait to see you tomorrow!!! Its been way too long. I was getting used to seeing you on a weekly basis. Miss you!!

Hi Mike, just checking in. Glad to see you are doing so well, keep up the good work. Malory has gone back to school & we just got back from Minnesota. Meg

Hi Mike,
Sorry I missed your grand exit from Mom's. I was in Perrysburg on Grammy duty with Emma and Ryan including an all too brief visit with Laura and Andy.
Just want to tell you that the last few months went so fast and whatever I contributed to your recovery I was grateful to have been there for you and your girls.
Please, no more "mop" duty for awhile.
Wish I could have been a fly on the wall at work. You had to have been on emotional overload with that experience.
Know that I am so proud of your speedy recovery and your willingness to accept the challenges and move on.
Take great care!
Love you,
Phyllis
