Help Mikael Beat Cancer

HELP 23 YR OLD MIKAEL MYGGEN BEAT CANCER:
Mikael is a bright, funny, creative, sensitive young man who was close to completing a college degree in computer animation before his whole life changed.
February 17, 2015. Mikael’s mom Magi planned to drive him to a doctor’s appointment to check out some flu-like symptoms that just wouldn’t go away. Instead she got an early morning call saying that his right leg was ‘paralyzed’ and he couldn’t walk. They rushed to the local emergency room where doctors declared Mikael ‘lucky to be alive.’ He was in fact suffering from acute T-cell leukemia. He was immediately taken to the ICU to spend the next 10 days fighting for his life. With a white blood cell count 100 times normal, Mik’s brain had started to bleed, causing his right arm to become paralyzed along with his leg. The hemorrhage was expanding, the prognosis grim.
Somehow, through the grace of God and the prayers of many, Mikael managed to come back to us. He got started right away with a long-term chemotherapy treatment. After about a month in the hospital regaining medical stability, he was then moved into a rehabilitation hospital to work on his physical mobility. Finally, after 3 months, Mikael was allowed to continue his recovery from home with regular visits to the hospital and rehab center. The doctors say that with a supportive environment and unrelenting treatment, at his young age, Mikael has an excellent chance of a full recovery. But it will be a long road (3+ years), and so much is needed to help him achieve his goals.
Calling all angels. Any and all help, particularly financially, would be a huge saving grace at this time. This first year is currently most crucial as we, the family, are trying to get our footing in a new routine, with so many critical responsibilities. On top of managing the medical side, there are basic living costs and round-the-clock care that is required. If you are able to donate, please give whatever is comfortable for you. You could be an ‘angel’ and give a monthly donation, or you could give whenever it’s feasible for you, anytime. The contributions we have gratefully been receiving not only help us make it through another day, but they empower Mikael to know that others are rooting for him. Every little bit makes such a difference.
Thank you for lending your love and support to this worthy young man. May your generosity and compassion come back to you in ways that light your heart’s desire.
With deep appreciation,
Magi, Bent, and all the family and friends of Mikael Sten Myggen.
