Michael is stable and doing okay but there has been a development with him that the doctors are working to correct. One of the chemicals in his blood spiked very high overnight and he has been moved to ICU as a precaution. He is currently very confused, combative, and doesn’t recognize me or his surroundings but that is a symptom of what’s going on and expected to go away as they get his body chemistry back under control. The doctors say that could take a few days but they caught the situation quickly and that’s always the best possible scenario. 

I will update as things as I can ans when there are things to share so, for now, I will not stick to a rigid morning/evening update schedule because the situation is fluid and I need my attention to be on wherever is most beneficial for Michael at any given time. 

Throughout this entire situation, people have asked me how they can help but I haven’t need anything until now. Here is my ask: I must insist that you respect Michael’s privacy right now and not share this development among various social circles. This is an extremely difficult situation and it is his story to tell, when and if he chooses. This is also for my protection because I do not want to be ambushed at any future social events by rubberneckers wanting salacious details of something that doesn’t concern them. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh but I want to be clear that this is non-negotiable. 

Michael gave everyone reading this access to his medical updates because he trusts your discretion and that has never been more necessary than right now. He also arranged for these updates to prevent my phone from blowing up with messages, no matter how well intended. Please honor that for him. ❤️
