Mike wrapped up round one of his consolidation therapy last night and is comfortable being back home. Melisa was able to determine which Home Health nursing company is able to provide Mike's care and that will begin either today or tomorrow. He goes to Dr. Zigler's office this afternoon for a neupagen shot - the WBC booster - at 4:00. I don't think that injection is pain free, so please pray that goes well for him.
The consolidation therapy phase of his treatment has to be repeated. I am assuming this will depend on the presence (or hopefully absence) of leukemic cells. This is best determined via bone marrow biopsy. In the past a BMB was done one week following chemotherapy. Please pray that this treatment fully knocks out those cells and the next round will leave them wishing they never entered his body in the first place.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

How To Help
Many of you have asked, "How can I help?" Many more have already done so much and have offered the best suggestions of what you can do.
The most important element of help that you can provide is to keep Mike, Melisa, and Casey in your thoughts and prayers. Wherever the Lord leads your heart is the prayer that we need the most. We know the power of prayer and we are relying on that continually.
With the loss of income along with the degree of treatment that Mike will undergo, their financial burden will be a heavy one. Many have graciously offered financial support.
These are just some suggestions on how to help. I am sure that others will have many more ideas on helping that will be just as beneficial.
I (his sister Rachel) am trying to be the 'organizer of needs', contacting them to see what they need, getting the word out, and relaying the help to them. Please feel free to call or email me at any time. I'd love to hear from you. Please feel free to mail any funds, gift cards, etc... to me at:

Miky,
So glad you're home even just for a little while. I have been thinking about you guys and am not believing that that little guy up north is 2 years old. Time does fly by.

hey, man... just wanted to pass on a great big "Hello" from Chris Lofton and the gang down here in VOL COUNTRY... Lofton's been just hangin' out down here warming up, getting ready to slice up the SEC and drainin' "3"s from yo momma's house...
I hope that Kelvin Sampson can keep a lid on all the rest of the NCAA infractions up there in Hoosier land so that you guys can at least finish out the season...
GO VOLS
