Mike Gilbert

Some of you know Mike Gilbert from Rock Lake Bible Methodist Church in Michigan. A couple of Sunday's ago, he was involved in a horrific auto accident. He broke 13 ribs, and will have to have his foot amputated tomorrow. Here is an update from the family from this morning.
We had a quiet Easter day here at the hospital with a few wonderful visitors that made our day!


Mike is so miserable and in so much pain it is so draining on him, His blood pressure and temp are both high tonight, He gets exhausted so easy. Sleeping at night is so difficult for him, He can't seem to relax at all when he is alone, We're so glad there is a place for us to stay down here. The first 4 nights we spent in the waiting room and now we have a room at the hospitality house connected to the hospital, We are
so thankful for it.

Mike delighted the nurses this morning when he had a note already when they came in his room after mid-night, It said HAPPY EASTER, They said it made there day and made them laugh that he wanted to be the first to tell them and make sure the were wished a happy ressurrection day, several hospital personel have remarked that they like to come in Mike's room as he has such a great attitude and is so patient with them in the midst of such intense pain and some have mentioned they feel a
heavenly presence in his room, I don't doubt this as God has under taken for Mike on a daily bases and continues to strengthen him and help him. We are so proud of him to show such a good attitude during what has turned into the most difficult time of his life.

This will be probably one of the most difficult weeks of our lives, Please continue to pray for us, We love you all and miss our friends and especially our church family at Rock Lake Bible Methodist Church, Thanks church family for your wonderful support.
God bless,
The Gilberts
