I'm reverting back to my camp days. I'm not sure I could put together cohesive paragraphs if I wanted to.
Highs for today.
1) Micah got moved to medical rounds, from surgical rounds. This means the doctors think he's recovered from his surgery! Yay!
2) Micah got his first big boy bath today. I laugh just thinking about it. He wasn't too fond of the water, although he liked the shampoo getting rubbed in his hair. Micah, in true form, pooped and peed in his first bath. It was pretty amusing, but only because the nurse was doing the dirty work. (He poops at the most inopportune times... like 5 minutes after changing him). Too much info? Sorry.
3) We had visitors this weekend! We hope to get pictures up soon. It was the lsat visitors Micah will get for awhile, so hopefully he enjoyed them.
4) We had a better day today than we had yesterday. Less drops in heart rate and oxygen.
Lows.
1) We had a terrible, horrible, no good very bad night last night. He dropped about 11 times in less than 4 hours. Worried mom and dad so much we went in at 6 this morning. Long day.
2) Sort of a low, but not really. Micah got moved back to high flow oxygen. They figured since he's been having so many problems, it was worth trying high flow. It's a step backwards from the low flow in a way, but it's seeming to help out. He's not dropping nearly as frequently with the high flow. Lets hope it stays that way... Tonight will likely tell.
Can't wait to get pictures up... We have some fun ones- it's been a busy weekend. Micah has a big test tomorrow to try to narrow down why he's dropping like he is. They'll put a little camera down his throat to see what he's doing with his saliva- whether it's ending up in his lungs or if he's swallowing it. Please pray he cooperates for the test because mom and dad need some answers! This test may not give us the correct answer for what's going on, but it'll help narrow down what it isn't at least. His test is around 11.

ReplyDeletethanks so much for the updates on Micah - I know you must be exhausted each day but it sure helps us know how the little guy (and you and travis) are doing and what especially to pray for that day. Stay strong and I hope his levels stay strong today to do the test. We love you all so much and hope you can feel our loving arms around you each and every day. Love, aunt cathy
ReplyDeleteYour blog is the first thing I check each day. Know that my prayers are with you all! Rex
ReplyDeleteBritt and Travis, Micah too: I check for your entry every morning and evening to keep caught up. Then people at church ask me about Micah also. Your family is in all our prayers.
