We're looking at a long time down here...

I think we'll have to call this home for a little longer than we hoped. The lung scope test should yield some results in the trach department, but if a trach is needed, we'll be down here a few weeks after the trach is placed. There are a lot of potentials ways to help him manage his airway, but we won't know anything until the lung scope. Still no word when that scope will be done (even though they said they'd tell us today... grrr!)
Micah had another okay day... they decided to give him blood because his red blood cells count remained low for a few days. They'd wait it out except that he's going into surgery next week.
Our "pod" (room) of kids got pretty empty today, half the kids moved out! The little neighbor girl had surgery this morning so I'm sure if their family could use some prayer.
We're just so proud of how Micah is doing, and we love him so much. We also love the staff because they love our baby too. The physical therapist just gets the biggest kick out of Micah because he has a LOT of personality. He's pretty fun.

  1. In the big picture of life, if Micah needs a few more weeks in Cincy, then so be it. We think of you guys all the time and know that the drs will get this all figured out eventually. Hang in there!!! judek

  2. You guys are doing so well. I know it's been a long road but just think about all God has had you experience through this. You guys are such a neat couple and have inspired people's faith. Take care.

  3. So glad to hear that Micah is doing so well right now. I hope that the lung scope is scheduled soon and gives you the answers you need.

    And sorry Britt, but I must differ with you on the peanut butter thing -- Jiff is the best! ;)-- but you're right the dip is king!

    Give Micah some kisses and cuddles for me. Love to all,

    Aunt Joni

  5. In spite of a few bumps in the road, the journey looks positive even though a little longer than anticipated. I enjoy the pictures and hearing about Micah's personality - "I'll do it my way"! He keeps everyone alert! I love your sense of humor, Brittany, the way you see things through a positive attitude. We continue to trust the Lord to quide the doctors to make the right decisions. We'll keep praying. Love to all, Miriam Z
