I received word from Jeremy via text message. With his family members present, Michael has said his good-byes and final requests as of 1 p.m. this afternoon. It appears it is a time of waiting right now.
Through Jeremy standing by Michael's bedside in Rochester, Michael said thank you to everyone for their support and prayers. He wants his "story told from the beginning to his last breath so that this doesn't happen to someone else."
I will try to figure out exactly what he meant by his statement. As Jeremy continues to fight, his vitals are up and down. Then Jeremy had to go. He'll call me back later.
Michael's journey has been trying on both him and his family. I cannot imagine what it is like for any of them. In a few short months Michael has gone from having the stomach flu to celiac disease to bartonella, to brain cancer. It is malignant and inoperable. And that is where his story ends for some. But Michael wants more.
I will continue to give you more information and share what Michael has to say in the next few days.
Peace.

Hi Viv....Thanks for updating us. We saw Michael yesterday on our way home from Kansas. It was really nice to see him and say hi. We were there when he got married to Kayla. It was very special!! He looked so happy, peaceful, and comfortable. As always, he had his smile going!!
Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about that special wedding!
For those who don't know, which is probably most everybody who wasn't there (I wasn't there, but they told me this morning), Michael got married yesterday. Maybe I should just add a posting about that.
Thanks for the reminder.
