Micah got to put some clothes on today! For as long and big as he looks, he swims in his clothes! Dad got to hold him today, and dad was in heaven. He got to hold him for over an hour. Once he got settled, he loved rocking in the chair with daddy. Micah has been a little fiesty, having trouble keeping his heart rate where it should be, but he seems to be improving this afternoon. The doctors are running tests to see what could be up, so hopefully they'll know soon. The docs aren't terribly worried about it, but they'd like to figure out why it's happening. That's our biggest prayer request today. Other than that, he's doing great. He had visitors yesterday and today which was fantastic. It's been good to show him off! :) More visitors tomorrow.
Since Micah had a rough night, mom didn't get much sleep. Therefore, I'm off to a mandated nap. Have a great night!
EDIT: Tomorrow they are planning on extubating Micah (taking out his breathing tube). The ear nose and throat doctors are confident that now is good time, but there's always a chance they'll have to put it back in. That would be a bummer, but it shouldn't be a big deal if it has to go back in. It's a big, exciting, unnerving thing because they're going to look at his airway and we hope they don't see any new lymphatic problems. Please pray!

So good to see Travis hold Micah. I bet Travis never wanted to stop rocking him.
ReplyDeleteBy the way what size is the outfit you have on him in the picture? Newborn? Preemies? Just curious -- in case I was to say buy him a little outfit :)
Love to all, Aunt Joni
THAT IS JUST TO CUTE!!!!! I IMAGINE THAT A FEW OUTFITS WILL BE COMING HIS WAY. TAKE CARE AND BOTH YOU AND TRAVIS GET SOME REST.

That outfit was a newborn. He'll be able to wear newborns for quite some time. I'm afraid he'd outgrow a preemie really fast, but I don't know. We didn't buy any preemie clothes.
ReplyDeleteTravis and Brittany, It has been so good seeing the two of you holding Micah. He is such a handsome little fellow. Everyone at the office (Warsaw Women's Center) was glad to hear that surgery went well for Micah. All three of you remain in my prayers. Thanks for the wonderful updates and pictures.

He's a beautiful little guy and i can tell by the photos both of you, travis and britt, are ectastic when you get to hold him. just as it should be--he in his parents' loving arms. can't wait to see you all tomorrow and give you that long awaited hug i've saved for so long.then get a real glimpse at your treasured little boy. take care, aunt cathy
