     UPDATE - 10-5-20 - Michael is well. We have been permitted to visit with Michael once a week for about 30 minutes. We however are required to go for a COVID Test each week and submit the results before we are allowed to schedule out visit. The visit is closely monitored by hospital staff however we are thankful we are finally able to physically visit with him. 

The weekly testing is difficult and yet another hurdle that we need to overcome to get through this. Like with everything else, we will do whatever we have to in order to help our Michael. He seems so what confused by us wearing the masks when we visit. However we believe he knows it is us. 

We are scheduled to visit with Michael on Tuesdays and we go for the COVID Test on Wednesdays for the upcoming weeks visit. 

Not much else new to report as our time with Michael is extremely limited making this whole COVID situation a nightmare for both my wife and I and especially for Michael. 

We pray for all of this to finally come to end and for everyone to Stay Safe and Healthy. 

As always we Thank Everyone for your continued prayers and support

Regards

Mom and Dad Bartolo
