DONATE TO MICKEY'S FUND

Tuesday, February 18, 2014

Im filled with so many emotions today! I have NEVER been more proud of Alec than I am today! At the same time as a mother have never felt so completely helpless! Watching my son learn to walk again is the most amazing thing. He just stood right there and walked!!! My heart is so completely full; I cannot put into words all the feelings. As parents we are supposed to protect our children and help them. In this situation we have had no control and cannot fix this! While Alec is continually positive and moving forward as his parents all we can do is watch and support. I wish more than ever that I could trade him places or go back and change time. I don't know how to do this!!! My heart is filled with more pride than I have ever had for Alec. At the same time, so much hurt for the things he will have to go through that should be easy and will never be easy again! I know Alec has such a great purpose to fulfill here and I have NO doubt that he will! He has the most courage, strength and determination of anyone I have ever known! I know that he will accomplish all of his goals and will continue to be an inspiration to so many people. I feel truly blessed to be able to witness all of the things that he will do.
Thank you for the continued love, support, and prayers, lord knows we need them!! Much love to each and every one of you!!
I BELIEVE IN MICKEY MAGIC!!!!!

It's been quite awhile since I updated the blog. Im just trying to find a new normal. Alec is doing amazing and is still extremely positive. He really wants to get going with his life and we are hopeful that this week he may get his first leg so he can start learning to walk again. He has gained a little weight; he's all the way back up to 150lbs! Woohoo!
We went back to the cardiologist this past week and they are going to do a cat scan on his heart to make sure everything is okay. He has had some chest pain and sharp stabbing pains so we are hopeful it's still just his body recovering.
Alec has designed some t-shirts to help raise some money for his leg, they are pretty awesome! Chris Wingert from Real Salt Lake is helping Alec so much and is going to be doing an auction of stuff from players to help as well. It is AMAZING the amount of support Alec has received from Chris!
Alec gets tired super easy and hus body is still weak. But his body gets stronger everyday and lord knows NOTHING is going to keep this kid down! We are all so beyond blessed to have him still with us! It literally becomes more clear everyday that this guy has some serious work to do!
We are so grateful for the love and support we have had and can't put into words what it has meant for us!
A few nights ago, Alec was on Channel 4 with Chris Wingert. If you didn't see it, go on Alec's Facebook page and follow the link and watch it. He is continually my inspiration! Hopefully this week we will be updating this blog with pictures of him WALKING!! Keep the prayers coming he and we need them and can feel them! Thanks again and we love each and every one of you!
