Michael Treinen was your typical 18 year old- well, maybe not so typical. He was a three sport athlete in high school- football, hockey, and lacrosse. He was often found at the gym- working out before or after a practice. Michael had a true passion for fitness, working on his car, and making people laugh. He was a happy kid! (The picture above is a perfect example...a cheerleading pose for his hockey picture???)
Michael enjoyed his three sisters- Meredith, Madeline, and Michele. He brought an energy into a room that touched many people. The sad part is- you don't see the impact until they are gone. Michael was diagnosed with Acute Myleoid Leukemia three weeks before high school graduation on May 11, 2007. (Cancer diagnosis on May 8th) He entered Riley Children's Hospital on May 14th to begin the fight of his life! Michael went through five intensive chemo treatments over a 7 month period- with round two sending him into ICU for three weeks. It was our first miracle- as he walked out of the hospital 6 days later. On December 11th- Michael was offically cancer free! Miracle #2 came our way!
Michael's remissison did not last long- he relapsed on January 25, 2008. Michael's smile did a fade a bit- he wanted to attend college in the fall but knew it was being delayed again. Michael again became focused on the fight and was ready to handle what was ahead of him. Michael needed a bone marrow transplant to survive- matches were found immediately but due to insurance issues and keeping the cancer under control- Michael never got to transplant. Michael became one of God's Angels at 6:26 a.m. on May 25th.
