weegegirl 2 #11 September 1, 2006 I just got off the phone with Mike. He had a bad virus that hit him the really wrong way from the sounds of it. He would like to let everyone know that he is going to be fine and the main problem is he just hasn't had enough margaritas lately. This message really freaked me out. Glad I am not about to lose another Mike. Love you guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #12 September 1, 2006 QuoteHe would like to let everyone know that he is going to be fine and the main problem is he just hasn't had enough margaritas lately. Next time you talk to him, tell him Michele says come to So Cali and I'll buy him all the margaritas he can drink...and I'll stay sober and do the driving, too, in my little sports car with the top down. Thank God he's going to be all right. Thank God. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbarnhouse 0 #19 September 2, 2006 Mike has a very strange virus that is affecting part of his brain. I am sorry I don't know exactly what it is, but I do know that it is rare. His house is being examined looking for causes of the virus. (in otherwords...the medical community isn't certain how it was contracted) He was transferred to a hospital in Miami yesterday. When I spoke with him he sounded tired, but assured me that he is doing ok. I plan to call later in the day and will let you know if there are any updates.

freeflir29 0 #20 September 2, 2006 Wow.............that doesn't sound good at all. Best of luck to you Mike. All the positive thoughts I can dig up coming your way. I hope Cara comes by to lick your face. In my experience that can cure pretty much anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbarnhouse 0 #24 September 3, 2006 Well, Mike has a severe case of Vestibular Neuritis of unknown etiology. So far he has had a MRI, CAT scan, EEG, EKG's, stress and table tilt test with echocardiogram, ultrasound of his carotid arteries and blood work galore every six hours. The good news is that he not have a stroke or tumor as first thought. He able to stand and walk with help or if he can hold onto something. He said they are very aggressive there and have already started him on physical therapy to retrain his brain to balance. He should be out in about 3-4 days and then continued physical therapy for 3-4 weeks. If all goes well he should get back to normal. The other good thing according to Mike is there is almost never a reoccurrence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
