I will keep sending prayers (or whatever it's called in my case since I'm not religious ) so he keeps getting better!!

Thanks again, Tessa...you are so kind...

Anything for the Camaro family Donna! (ok almost...LOL )

I know what it's like to sit and wait and worry, not knowing. We did that with my dad when he had ope heart surgery - it didn't go as well as they hoped and he was doing bad for awhile. He recovered thankfully but that waiting and wondering is a killer! If our prayers and hopes for Mike's recovery help then sure as anything you can bet you got them from me (and I'm sure a lot of our Camaro family would agree)!

I agree with you Tessa....
It is very hard to watch and wait when someone we love is seriously ill...:(
My dad also had emergency open-heart surgery, and thankfully he was ok...
I also watched my mom battle cancer for 12 very long years...it is such a helpless feeling...
I appreciate your caring and concern...you are a sweetheart!!!

Great News, Donna!
Mike truly IS a member of the Chevrolet & Camaro family, you know!
Good to hear that he's improving after such a serious ordeal.
You know those prayers and good thoughts worked when even the docs say they can't believe he survived it! The human spirit is amazing!
We are still thinking of him (and you!) each day! Luv Ya!

Turned out that he manages a Chevy dealership in Virginia and that is where I bought my 'ROCKETSHIP' (his name for my car)...
I finally got to see him again last year when Keith and I went to pick up my 'HWAY STR'...
We've kept in touch by phone on and off since last May when I took delivery and last saw him...
I found out tonight that he had a very, very serious medical emergency and surgery yesterday, and he is in intensive care right now...
Coincidentally, I had just spoken to him this Wednesday, the day before he got so sick, and I told him, yet again, that everytime I talk about my Camaro, I tell the story of being re-united with my long lost best friend...
I will be calling his friends at the dealership tomorrow for updates...
I would appreciate my Camaro5 family members joining me to pray for his full recovery...
I am so upset by this scary news...
Here is a photo of him handing me the keys on delivery day...

That's terrible.. I am keeping him in my thoughts! I hope for a speedy recovery!

I told him that I've been sitting here helplessly in NY, very upset and worried about him, while he is in a hospital in Virginia recovering from a life threatening infection and surgery ...:facepalm:

He told me not to worry about him, but to take care of me...that's the type of guy he is...:)

I have been checking in with his friends that I met at the dealership that Mike manages in VA where we took delivery of the 'HWAY STR' on 5/19/09... I've been getting my updates every few days, since I didn't want to bother them too much...:rolleyes:

Soooooo, it was just great to get the story straight from Mike himself...He has a very positive attitude that he is going to survive this...:thumbsup:

I told him that I had my Camaro5 family praying for his full recovery and he wanted me to say THANK YOU to all of you...:thanks:

He said the prayers are definitely helping him, because the doctors keep telling him that he is the luckiest person alive to have survived what he went through...:yikes: :yikes:

I told him that I will continue to 'pray my heart out' for him and that I would ask you all to continue praying too, PLEASE...:help: :help:

He has a very long road to recovery ahead of him, and his condition is still 'LIFE THREATENING'...I cannot tell you exactly what his medical problem is due to wanting to protect his privacy, but he still isn't 'out of the woods' yet...:( :cry:

THANK YOU ALL[/COLOR] FOR PRAYING FOR, AND CARING ABOUT, A STRANGER THAT YOU HAVE NEVER MET, JUST BECAUSE I ASKED YOU TO...

Your prayers and support mean the world to me, and I can never thank you enough...just knowing that you all care so much has made this a little bit easier for me to bear...

That's great news Donna!!!

Donna,
First off, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's situation, and that I caught this story so late. It's great news that YOU actually got to talk to him, personally.

Keep that conversation close to your heart, and remember it, when you're feeling down. It's a positive moment, and it will help keep your spirits up, as well as Mike's, having heard each other's voices .

Believe it or not, and hope you don't mind my saying so, but Donna, you, in my heart, are the MOM of Camaro5. You never say anything bad, about anyone or anything, you add your thoughts in a mature manner, throughout the forum, and treat everyone like your own family.

I wish your friend all the best, in a complete recovery from his situation, but please remember to take care of yourself too.

We love you dearly & God Bless You!

p.s. I've passed this on to our Canada group as well.

Thank you Frank for your loving tribute to me and my best friend Mike...

I also appreciate you adding your Canadian group to the prayers for Mike...

The next time I talk to him, I will continue to share everyone's wishes for him to have a full and complete recovery...he deserves nothing less...he is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to call my friend, and it is tough for me to be all the way up here in NY, while he is in a hospital in Virginia...:(
