This site has been set up to give more information on Mikes recovery and his history in life. March 31st 2007 at approx 8 PM Mikes life was changed forever.
We ask you to follow along in his next step of his journey in healing.
He is a incredibly strong young man with a ton of drive to get his life back. Since this incident happened, life has gone by very fast. There are times that it feels that he got hurt literally years ago. Then it seems like it just happened.
He has gone from medical personnel telling us - don't think he is going to make it.....to- he is another Terri Schiavo to well, we are not sure how far he is going to go.
He has proved everyone wrong and will continue to heal with all of our support and prayers.
We are all so very proud of his accomplishments and attitude toward life and what has happened to him.

For those of you who are new to Mike's story, I will give you a short background of his life before March 31st, 2007.
Mike was born May 4th, 1988. From the time he was born, you couldn't stop him from doing what he truly wanted to do and that is learning about anything and everything he could. As he got older, he excelled in academics, music and computers. By the time he graduated in 2006 from Coeur d' Alene High School he graduated with honors and had his own computer business. He was one of the top "Geeks" at the local Best Buy and loved his job. He was a very popular person growing up and it showed, especially when people would go to Best Buy to seek out his knowledge.
On the night of March 31st, 2007 Michael and his girlfriend Alex were going into town when a yearling Moose decided to cross the highway without looking both ways first. Mike did an incredible job of stopping his Subaru Impreza WRX. He hit the moose at approx 10 - 15 mph and kept the car within 10* of straight. The only damage to the car was the hood and windshield. Mike and Alex were fine. Then around 7 - 10 seconds later, they were rearended by a full size Chevy 1 ton truck hauling a load of equiptment at 59 mph. Mike's car went from 0 - 45 in a tenth of a second and his car went 249 feet before stopping.
God sent his best Angels to protect Mike and Alex for both kids should have been killed instantly but they were not. Alex's only injury was 6 staples to the back of her head and neither kid had any broken bones.
Mike was in emergency surgery within 1 hour and 40 minutes of the accident.
Thanks to an incredible surgen, many prayers and Angels, Mike is still with us and improving every day.

Mikes Senior Picture
Mike had and still has an incredible mind and soul. I think and know he is even more incredible now than before. He has always been a very caring young man, but now he is more. He was never a very spiritual person before, now he is full of internal spirit. His heart is full of angels and God.
His mind still works so fast that the words still don't come out fast enough. Even before his accident we would have to tell him to slow down.
He was an incredible violinist. He has started playing again. Granted, it isn't pretty, but that is not the point. One day it will be beautiful again.
His math, computer and French language skills are still all there and we are all so very happy for that.
Please continue to pray for Mike.
