Mike made up on a lot of sleep today. After dinner he was out. He woke up a couple of times. I was talking to him around 8 when I looked up for 30 seconds he passed out (not in a bad way). And I couldn't wake him again. He slept almost straight through till 11:30. Sleep is so good for him! He says it "hurts less".
It sounds like his break is in the C7 area as he has good hand movement with a little trouble touching his pinky. He is feeling a little nerve pain in his arms.
He is still holding up well. We took a couple pictures. But don't worry, he still has his smile.

He's awake but his eyes are closed

Dear Mike
I know your brother from Grace Church and if you are a man of God like him you will be able to bear this great throne in your side. You will have daily struggles, but know God is at your side and so are many people. It is my prayer that you come through this great health crisis with more awareness of God's greatness.

Michael,
After seeing your pictures I must say you still have the Barker good looks and those looks are why I married into the family. I love you, hottie.

Mike;
I too graduated with Mike. I can see why he was one of the most liked people in our Grad class. He was funny, good looking, and generally a great, nice guy. I never really hung out with him, or talked with him for a long period of time, but the kindness was there. I hope you get well soon, and no serious conclusions will arise. With God in your heart and watching you I'm sure you will be up and running in no time. You have the Gallant Familys' Support ALL THE WAY!

I agree with Lori:
They're gonna have to do a lot more than break your back to take away your charm!
Even though, from now on, this will change a lot of WHAT YOU DO, we're just soo thankful to Jesus that He's allowed more time on this earth for everyone to enjoy WHO YOU ARE!
Get well soon, you betta believe the Holy Spirit is movin in your nerves and bones and heart and working all this for your good! keep up being STRONG and COURAGEOUS for the Lord our God is with you!!
Hey!
Glad to see you're smiling. It was definitely nice to see that smile each time I saw you over at your place.. even it was just in passing. :) I've been praying for you just about non-stop since I heard about everything. You have a huge number of people praying for you. And.. you have an amazing family, who are all behind you and love you so much. I'm sure you know that though! Stay strong, and keep smiling! :) I'd also have to agree with Lori. ;)
