Hi, all of Mike's friends.
Today, a bed opened up at the Hubbard House Hospice in Charleston, WV. We moved Mike there this afternoon. It is a wonderful place with wonderful people. We can even take the dogs up there to visit. We certainly will.
Mike is comfortable, and I know is thrilled to hear all your messages. They mean a great deal to Mike and all of us..

Mike, you are in my thoughts and prayers and have been remarkably brave throughout this odyssey. I hope hospice brings you the peace and comfort you deserve. Many of us would like to think that we would be equally brave and wise in our choices and composition if we were put in the same situation. I didn't know you that well at Loyola, but I hope it is some consolation to you that your experience has resonated with me and many other people, known and unknown.
Constantly sending so many prayers and thoughts your way.

Mike and family, Me and my family are continuing to pray for you. We are constantly thinking of you.

I requested prayers from the University of Notre Dame prayer group and they sent this response.
We pray that Mike Davis's family and friends will feel God's comforting arms around them during this most difficult time.
We pray that Mike and his family will place their faith and trust in Him who loves them.
God bless you today and always.

My thoughts are with you Michael and all of you. I hope this day brings great peace and great memories. You are a great family and I love you very much.

Sorry to send a double comment to this post, but I have something that I am just being lead to send. I was trying to think of peace. The pure embodiment of it. I was also trying to think of comfort for your family. This is something that has helped me in trauma, in joy, in sorrow, in seeking just about anything I have ever needed. It is God's love letter to us. Each verse is out of the Bible. I don't know how religous you all are, but it is just utter and complete comfort and love to me and I hope it will be for ALL of you too. You can just read the letter or you can choose to listen to it being read to you. The voice that reads it is what I like to think God sounds like. So soothing. My favorite part of it right now is where God is going to throw the biggest party you have ever seen in heaven once we get there. How fitting, Mike's the life of party. Love ya Mike.

There are so many adventures waiting that we can't see. The mystery revealed will be a happy one.
Thank you for allowing me in-it has given me a lot of peace.
Love,

Re-reading the blog today, Mike, and keeping you front and center. Here's a post I just love.

Never, ever, ever..... ever!
I've come to the conclusion that one should never, ever go to see the doctor. If I actually make it through med school, you should definitely not come see me. In fact, I recommend against following my recommendations!*
So I went to a dermatologist a couple of weeks ago for hair loss on the sides of my legs (ultimately a result of the chemo). They weren't too impressed with that, but they lopped every mole off my back just for the fun of it. I knew that the path report would say "atypical" and "dysplastic" meaning precancerous. I've been in a path lab and they always say that just to avoid the liability of being wrong.
Today, I got a call from the dermatologist who said my path report proclaimed my nevi to be "dysplastic" and "atypical." Surprise. She wants to go in and hack away at me some more--to take a few inches off around the holes in my skin. The question is... how much more of this do I care to do? I've already got stage four brain cancer, how much more can a few little dysplastic nevi hurt me? I've got news for you skin folks; I'm an atypical sort of guy. I always have been. Quit picking on me!"
As the world can see, that was two years ago. And in the time since then, you have shown this disease nothing but steel. No one will forget it. You will always be among those whom people think of when they really need to be inspired, when their courage might fail. You will be there.
