Michael is home and currently is doing well. His counts have been increasing, which is great. He is continuing to go to CHOP and receive transfusions a couple times a week. Michael celebrated his birthday on Thursday and was able to make a short visit to his school. He was so nice for him to see his friends, it really brightened up his day. Although his counts are increasing, Michael is still very tired and weak. He is having a difficult time with his treatments and medications. They have some side effects that have been affecting him. Please continue to pray and have HOPE for Michael.

I am extremely happy and thankful for the outpouring of kindness that this benefit has brought. From friends, family, individuals and businesses. Stacey and her family would like to personally thank everyone for the gracious donations. Stacey has also received an email from a local family in Vineland who has a son who has aplastic anemia. He was diagnosed a year ago and has recently relapsed and is in need of a bone marrow transplant. So please pray for this family.

Hi, Michael

I hope you are feeling better and I want you to know that I am praying for you every day. My family and I are going to pray the Rosary every Saturday for you. I miss you and I hope to see you in class soon!!!!
