A little better...

Micah is doing pretty well. He's flying high on his morphine this morning. He's actually on a "sissy" (as the resident said) dose of morphine and is doing really well. His incision and tube look like they should at this point. He required another transfusion last night, because his red blood cell count was low (again.. this is the 5th time). They're hoping it's just because of the complications from surgery and that he's not having any more complications. They'll check his levels at noon today, and we hope they stay up.
I think we're going to venture out on the town which is an interesting proposition in this town. Especially since we're trying to find something new. We've established that we can find Kroger (although it's the ghetto kroger we've been told). and Walmart. We're going to try to find Meijer, Target and IHOP.
We appreciate the cards and the prayers this week. It's been a long week and we're both wishing we were knocked out on morphine as well. :)
Travis just whimpered "it's the camp mack festival." I whimpered in return. This was my goal initially to be home for. Somebody better enjoy some good food for us.

  1. We are glad to here that Micah is doing well as expected. And also glad to here that Travis and yourself are going out on the town (even though its Meijer/Target). We are sure that you guys need that. It will be nice to get some food different than the hospital.
    STILL PRAYING!!!

  3. The edit didn't get in there....the weather was miserable, not the chili boat. :)

  4. So glad to hear that Micah is doing well today. And I'm glad to hear that the 2 of you are able to get out of the hospital for awhile. It will do you both good.

    Give the baby a kiss from his great-aunt. Love you all, Aunt Joni

  6. Hey Travis and Brittany,
    We went to the soggy festival. It acutally wasn't too bad. One church had fried fish this year. It was really good. We also had vegetable soup and a bowl of pulled pork with cheese on it and cornbread. I bought some different jellies and some puppy chow for home. Right before we left we got a container of ham and beans and cornbread to take home. I think we have you covered. I know the camp people miss you Travis. Can't wait until your family can come home!
