Micah’s surgery has been planned for 7:45am. Of course, we’re all a bunch of nerves, but we know it’s better for Micah in the long run. He has been tolerating his cyst pretty well. The doctors have run a lot of tests trying to figure out exactly what they’re dealing with. They won’t know entirely for sure until they start surgery. The biggest thing is that we want them to find that the cyst isn’t involving his airway at all. If it is, he will need a tracheotomy, which may be permanent. The surgery could last between 3-6 hours, and it’s a go as long as Micah does well through the night (there’s no reason to think there will be problems).
He’s a sweet little boy. He’s pretty sedated most of the time, but you can still tell how he’s feeling by the little faces he makes. He’s quite ticklish (which makes mom very happy) and he loves to stretch out his long legs. As long as no one is poking at him, he just lays there pretty content as long as he doesn’t get the hiccups.
Travis and I got some sleep last night thankfully. We both are doing well. The nurses say I’m coming along pretty well considering the big incision I’ve been dealt.
We appreciate your prayers and pretty much beg for them, especially in the next day or two. Have a great day. We’ll get updates posted as soon as we can tomorrow.

Hartmans,
ReplyDeleteHey from the Gibsons. You are so right - what a handsome little lad. Sounds like you have a wonderful medical team. We spent a lot of time in that hospital with Courtney. She was 30 days old when they did the 1st surgery.
I know Micah is in great hands with the medical team, family and awesome parents. With the Lord watching over we pray for a great outcome. You have come a long way since those first reports in June. God has been good hasn't he?
We love you guys and you are continually in our thought and prayers.

Travis & Brittany, you all are in our prayers. Hope you get some sleep tonight! Sandi Lancaster
ReplyDeleteI'm already praying for the Surgeons and medical team as well as Micah and all of you. I'm glad your families can be there with you. You've already experienced miracles so we trust the Lord for another big one. What a beautiful family - looking good for what you've all been through! Love, Miriam Z

Travis and Brittany, I swell up with tears and get goose bumps thinking about how you must be feeling right now. Our God is so good and He will take care of Micah during his surgery. I will be praying for all of you tomorrow including all the doctors and nurses involved with surgery.

Praying that the drs will have insight and tons of wisdom during the surgery. And that you and your family will have peace while you are waiting. Just know that a whole lotta people are surrounding you (and especially Micah) in love and prayer right now. judek
