Mike, I am praying for Jamie's swift recovery and patience and support for you if it is not swift. Jamie is such a wonderful lady; I wish you both were not having to deal with this serious health problem. I don't see a hug smiley, so here is my cyberhug. (((((((((((hug)))))))))))
(Yes, I am still around, although work and family health problems have kept me off the river most of the time.)

Hi Mike,

So sorry to read about Jamie's illness. Your last report sounded very positive though so I was very relieved to read that. It's important for you to take care of your own health so glad you're being mindful of that. You both are in our thoughts. Please continue to give updates!

Mike,

Sorry to hear about Jamie. Keep your chin up and we're thinking of you guys! ty

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the updates on Jamie. You guys have been so kind to me, and you two are in my thoughts and prayers for a rapid and full recovery. If there is anything I can do for you, just let me know. Wishing you well my friend.

All my best, Trey

Our prayers are definitely with the two of you.

Mike- So sorry to hear about Jamie. Remember that at "our age" everything takes longer, from getting dressed in the morning to recuperating from an illness so don't panic. Take care of yourself now so you will be "fresh" for her when she needs you. we will be thinking of you. ann davis

Mike,
Sounds like you are doing all that you can. Thank you for keeping your friends posted. I continue praying for both of you.

Friday night: no change. Nothing wrong other than being unconscious. Thanks for all your encouragement.

Mike,

Having been in pretty serious physical shape over in Flagstaff Arizona in september 2012, the word got out to this group and I could feel the power of prayer and thought in the hospital.

Now it is my turn to get on my knees along with a lot of your friends.

Both you and Jamie are in my prayers.

It's been a week now since this happened...I got this from Mike last night (Sunday)...
Still unconscious; getting a new ventilator tube location Monday, directly into the trachea, to avoid damage to the vocal chords where the present tube is rubbing; they may start weaning her off the ventilator this week; still no way to tell when she will wake up.

Mike,
Our wishes for a swift and complete recovery

Tuesday morning - ventilator shut off for a trial breathing run; after a half hour of good breathing, the ventilator was removed. Jamie is breathing through a trachea tube on her own. Still unconscious. I won't be at the hospital Wednesday afternoon so I can let a heat/air service man in the house.

I'd love to see some photos of you guys and gals paddling, so if you catch some rain send me a shot. I'll put my email address on my profile in a minute.

Mike

Mike I'm sorry to hear the news about your wife & I will be praying for you both

Hi Mike,

So glad to hear that Jamie is breathing on her own! That's progress. Hopefully, her level of consciousness will improve soon, I know that has to be very difficult to not be able to communicate with her. Hang in there!! Many positive thoughts coming your way on a daily basis.

Beth

Mike, I'm so glad that Jamie is breathing on her own. My prayers are with your family.
