Prayer request For Friend and San Diego Protest Warrior

Smash - the indipundit ^ | 1/17/06 | CAluvdubya

[CAluvdubya]

I am asking for prayers for a friend, fellow Code Pink counter protestor and San Diego Protest Warrior, Mike May aka Mad Mikey (Mad Mikey).

Mike had a stroke on Saturday and is currently in the ICU. He has also had surgery to stop the bleeding and blood clots in his brain. He is recieving dialysis and is on a ventilator. He will be kept in a medically induced coma for a while.

CT scan, EEG (measures brain activity), and angiogram are all on hold because he's too unstable to withstand those tests.

Updates will be posted at: Da Goddess (Da Goddess)

[CAluvdubya]

Mike is a great guy with a fantastic sense of humor! I ask for prayers for him, his wife, and daughter.

Get better soon, Mike! We need you out there on "our" corner, driving away Code Pink!

Here is Mike, giving us the "thumbs up" sign!

[CAluvdubya]

Pinging the San Diego crowd. One of our fellow Code Pink counter protestors needs our prayers!

[groanup]

prayers up

[cgk]

Oh no... Prayers being sent! Pinging out to the Prayer Warriors...

[CAluvdubya]

Thanks for the ping to the Prayer Warriors, cgk.

Found this on DaGoddess' site on Mike's condition updates. He was at the Miramar FReep with us... and he's so young! (38)

[Trampled by Lambs]

Aw damn.. I talked to him for a while that day at Balboa Park. Prayers definately on the way...

[CAluvdubya]

Fellow Protest Warrior in need of prayers.

[GreenHornet]

My prayers are with Mike this evening.

[TXBSAFH]

Prayers from TX

[sofaman]

This is terrible..he will be in my prayers...too damn sad.

[CAluvdubya]

Yes, he is only 38. He has a job, school, and dialysis three times a week. Plus all he does for the Protest Warriors.

[CAluvdubya]

Thanks Trampled. He is showing some signs of improvement today.

[CAluvdubya]

Thanks GreenHornet.

[CAluvdubya]

Thank you TX. Prayer is powerful and I know Mike will recover!

[cgk]

Darn pic worked a minute ago... Okay, here's another.

This is the man we're praying for:

[CAluvdubya]

Hey sofa! I agree, this is terrible and I am very sad. I knew last week that he wasn't feeling well but it never occured to me that a stroke would be the result.

[CAluvdubya]

Thank you c. That is a great picture of Mike! Did you read at Da Goddess that they told Mike he better get out of the hospital before Code Pink finds out he's there and comes out in protest? LOL

[SoCalPol]

Mike is a warrior for the cause and a great guy.
There will be many prayers for him

[freeangel]

Prayers being offered up for Mike and his family now. Protest Warriors rule!

[cgk]

LOL! Yes I read that - great motivating tactic. :)

That picture is one Joanie took - she's the one who sent me all the pics she took at the event. I have a sneaking suspicion that she IS "Da Goddess"... (her website for the photos is called Joanie DG)... hmm!

[CAluvdubya]

You are a born Columbo!

[Pegita]

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that we can gather around the bedside of Mike in prayer, asking that Your healing hand would rest mightily upon him in his hours of need. Thank You, Merciful Father, for sustaining his life these many days ... grant the greatest wisdom to his medical team, that they would be part of Your healing for this beloved husband and father and friend. May he soon emerge from his coma, to the relief and delight of his loved ones ... may his recovery be swift and sure, to the Glory and Honor of Your Name. Encourage his family in these days and hours, O Lord ... may they hold fast to You in faith, for You are Sovereign God. "In His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind." Job 12:10.

Hear our prayer, O Lord ... hear our prayer, O Lord ... incline thine ear to us, and grant us thy peace. Amen ...

[CAluvdubya]

Thank you Pegita. What a beautiful prayer!

[cgk]

Amen.

Thank you, Pegita. Your prayers are simply beautiful.

[cgk]

You are a born Columbo!

Did I guess right? ;)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Prayers sent for a speedy and full recovery.

[CAluvdubya]

[jrp]

Get well soon Mike.
Prayers sent.

Mad Mikey, a Navy vet, father, and MuNuvian blogger, suffered a stroke over the weekend. He needs prayers and help. Please offer them if you can.

Get well soon, Mike.

[CAluvdubya]

Wow! Mikey's getting famous! I'll bet Smash got that on Malkin! Woo-Hoo!

I add my humble prayer to those of preceeding posters.

[malia]

Thank you for letting me know.

I pray your prayer of healing..Amen

[NordP]

Prayers for a full and speedy recovery, Mike!

There's more protest work to be done...and we know JUST the guy to do it! ;-)

[CAluvdubya]

Update on Mike per Da Goddess:

"The doctor has told Mrs. Mikey that there is brain damage, no doubt about it. How much? They don't know yet. And the stroke occurred in the part of the brain that controls personality and cognitive ability. Mikey may not be the same guy he was before.

There is some good news though. His blood pressure is coming down and he is responding to some voice commands.

[cgk]

You're most welcome :)

[sofaman]

boy...really puts things in perspective...

[NordP]

Oh thank goodness about his blood pressure and responses.

THE POWER OF PRAYER PEOPLE!

[CAluvdubya]

Amen to that, Nord!

[Judith Anne]

Prayers for a complete recovery on the way, from me and Hub.

[DogByte6RER]

Get well soon Mikey. You are a true patriot warrior and we have more crashes to do...

Everyone in the Temecula network wishes you their best and prays for your speedy recovery.

[concretebob]

Prayers up from the DC Chapter.
Hold on Mike..we're all behind ya.

[concretebob]

What an inspiration for all Protest Warriors.

[concretebob]

PING for the prayer group, BG.

[armymarinemom]

Prayers coming from our house. The last update on the blog sounds like we need hard prayer to keep his ICP lower.

[CAluvdubya]

Thanks, and yes, Mike is an inspiration. He was with Smash a week or so ago when Smash questioned Bob Filner in San Diego.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
