During Michael's trial in 2005 [Feb] he was rushed to hospital due to vomiting in the car taking him to the Court. From the hospital window Michael held out his teddy bear and a sign saying: "I love more" to his fans waiting below. Michael spent 33 hrs at the hospital causing the trial to be delayed for a week. This teddy reminded me of the lovely story re the teddy shared by Michael's bodyguard Mike..Photo shown is related to the February stay in Hospital and not the story below of which we have no photos.

One afternoon I had to take Michael for a doctor's appointment in Santa Monica , CA . As the afternoon turned into the evening the doctor decided that Michael should spend the night in his office so that the nurse could monitor Michael all night. Around 7:00 at night Michael told me to go back to hotel in case his children needed anything.
Around 11:00 that night I got a call from Michael saying he was really bored and he asked me to bring him some magazines. Michael loved magazines and he loved to read and look at the pictures. His favorite was Robb Report with all the high end toys. I woke up the limo driver Kato, the chinese guy-do you remember him? and had him drive me to the all night store that sold magazines.
When I got to the store I must have bought over a dozen magazines. Magazines on big beautiful homes, magazines on fashion and the music industry. I got him anything I thought would be an interest to him. I must have been walking down the childrens toys aisle towards the cash register and saw a light brown medium sized stuffed teddy bear. It was sort of cute I guess. I thought it would be sort of a gag to give him a teddy bear so I bought it and put it in a brown paper bag.
I got to the doctors office and gave Michael all the magazines that I chose. He seemed delighted with all of my choices. He thanked me for coming out- He always thanked me-
As I was about to leave I gave him the brown paper bag which contained the teddy bear and said to him, "here ya go- in case you get lonely tonight, this will keep you company".I then said good night and told him that I would be there in the morning to pick him up. He said good night but still did not look in the bag-
The next day I got to the doctors office around 9: 00 in the morning and told the nurse I was there to pick up Michael. I had the limo parked by the VIP door so that he could go directly from the office into the limo. The nurse came to the door and told me that he would be ready in a couple of minutes and would be coming out shortly. I did my usual security check around me making sure there were no cameras or paparazzis etc.
The door opened and Michael came out. He smiled and said "Good Morning Mike" As I was saying good morning back to him, I saw that in his hands, holding it against his chest was the Teddy Bear that I gave him. It was the only thing he brought with him- he left all his magazines behind. In the limo I saw he held on to the teddy bear and in never came out of his hands.
So- that is the story of the teddy bear. I hope it was not too boring to you. It made me realize just how sensative and/or appreciative he was for small gestures of caring. We never spoke of the teddy bear. I never shared this story (if I remember correctly) with anyone else. You have my permission to share this story with as many friends or fans as you wish!

一天下午我要帶Michael去加州的Santa Monica看醫生。因為臨近傍晚，醫生決定讓Michael在他的辦公室過夜，這樣護士可以整晚照顧他。大概晚上七點時，Michael讓我回酒店看看，以防他的孩子有什麼需要。
十一點左右，我接到Michael的電話，他告訴我他太無聊了，想讓我給他帶幾本雜誌回去。Michael非常愛看雜誌，他喜歡閱讀和欣賞上面的圖片。他最愛《羅博報告》(注：美國雜誌《羅博報告》，反映全球精緻生活的刊物)上的那些高端玩具。於是我叫醒了豪華轎車司機Kato——他是個中國人，還記得他嗎——驅車帶我去賣雜誌的24小時營業店。
我在商店裏買了至少一打雜誌，有關於漂亮家居的，有關於時尚的，還有音樂產業方面的。我買了他可能感興趣的一切。路過收銀台對面的兒童玩具區時，我發現了一個淺棕色大小適中的毛絨泰迪熊。它蠻可愛的，我想。送他一隻泰迪熊會很有趣吧，我想，於是我買下了它，將它放在了棕色紙袋裏。
到了醫生辦公室後，我將我選的雜誌遞給了Michael。他似乎對我買的雜誌都很滿意。他還對我為他跑了一趟表示感謝——他總是感謝我。
我要走的時候將那個裝有泰迪熊的紙袋給了他，並說：“這個給你，今夜你要是感到孤獨，它會給你做伴的。”然後我道了晚安，告知他明早我會來接他。他也道了聲晚安，但仍然沒有看看袋子裏裝的是什麼。
第二天早上九點，我到了辦公室，告訴護士我是來接Michael。我讓車停在VIP區入口，這樣他從辦公室出來就直接可以上車了。護士前來告訴我他需要幾分鐘準備一下，很快就會出來。然後我做了一些例行的安全檢查，確保周圍沒有任何攝像機和狗仔隊。（LZ：可憐的MJ...)
門開了，Michael走了出來，笑著向我打招呼：“早上好，邁克。”當我也向他道早安時，我注意到，他抱在胸前正是我送的那只泰迪熊。那是他唯一隨身帶走的東西，那些雜誌他都留在了辦公室。在車裏他緊緊握著小熊，愛不釋手。
這就是泰迪熊的故事。我希望你們不會覺得它無聊。這件事使我意識到他即使在一件小事上也是那麼細膩，那麼善於感恩。我們從來沒有再提起那只小熊，我也從來沒有對別人分享過這個故事（如果我沒記錯的話）。我現在同意讓你們和朋友們和FANS們分享這個故事。

2002年 Michael捐贈了一個親筆簽名的、穿著Michael服裝的泰迪熊給「Siegfried & Roy名人泰迪熊拍賣會」。這次拍賣的收益，將被用於拉斯維加斯的一個名為「機遇之村」的非營利性組織，以用來支援那些智障的個體及其他們的家庭，其中Michael親筆簽名的泰迪熊賣到了5,000美金的高價。
