Grassroots Nation!!!! Coach Mike is on the comeback. Been down for a few weeks family. Ran myself absolutely ragged acting like I dont need to be careful with my health. As many of you know, my Leukemia came out of remission over the summer and it was a very scary time for me as my white cell count rose up to 130,000. The normal is 10,000. God has been good to me and I have the best doctors in the land. Through the Grace of God and the medication (Sprycel) I am on, my counts came flying back down in less than a month and I was all the way down to 3,000, which was actually lower than needed to effectively fight against colds, flu, etc.. I probably should have taken it slow but you guys know how obsessed I am with the kids. I probably had the most busy Fall Season I have every had and rolled right into the Post Season All Star stuff. FBU and Crab Bowls were insane this year, but the flu season has not been kind to me whatsoever!!!!! I began feeling ill in Florida during FBU in mid December and was only home for a few days before Lavar Arrington flew me back to Orlando for the Under Armour All American Game. I got sick in Orlando with sever stomach pains and when I got back home I got a case of serious flu, which knocked me down for almost 2 weeks. I have not been on FB for almost a month now and am behind on everything. Feel so much better now, Thank God. I have so many phone calls, texts, and emails to respond to. I will try my best to get back to all of you all as I have been off the grid for the last 3 weeks. Please be patient with me as I try to respond to everyone. My doctor assures me that I am fine. My white cell counts are rising and I am feeling a lot better. I will be back and better than ever. I didnt want to do a big post while I was sick and get everyone worried about me. I really wasnt sure how bad it was, but now that I know it was the flu and not related to the cancer I feel confident in letting you guys know that I am good to go. I know some of you have been worried about me, as I have not been accessible by phone or email. Please forgive me but I needed some quiet time to focus on getting better so that I could be ready for the Spring push. We are setting up for an amazing Spring Season! We will not be doing conditioning clinics this year, as I will need the next month and a half to prepare for our March Combines. The are are some great trainers for you to work with to prepare for the Spring. Folks like Mark McCain of Elite Star Performance, Leonard Stephens of Perfect Performance, Ferron Carter of DSP, Brian Bell, and other Grassroots certified will be able to get you guys in tip top shape. Website will be updated over the next two weeks. TheGYFL. God Bless you all for thinking about me and praying for me. Please dont take it personal if I havent responded yet. I havent been able to respond to anyone except my wife over the last 3 weeks.
