Prayer requests...

Over the night, Micah dropped his heart rate and oxygen levels on many occasions. He's done this before (mainly when his vent was in), but last night he dropped enough they had to bag him with oxygen. No one seems to know why he's doing this, just pray it fixes itself. They are taking more precautions in case his feedings are causing him to aspirate. They advanced his tube past his stomach so he won't be able to spit them up... The doctors don't know if this is the problem, but it's something to try to fix the problem. The docs checked his thyroid (another reason this could happen) and it came back normal. So, we're searching for answers... please pray.

  2. We're all praying that this is just a temporary setback for our Micah. I hope the doctors are able to figure out and fix the problem soon.

    Stay strong Travis and Britt!

    Love, Aunt Joni

  3. I will be praying for Micah and also for both of you. It's hard for a parent to see your child having health problems.

    Take care, Holly Gibson
