Micah is doing great

Micah is doing great. He has now meet with the speech therapist here at Lutheren. She told us that Micah was getting a pretty good suck. It is not quite as strong as it should be for his age but it is close. She also said that it appears that he is sucking and swallowing. They cannot tell for sure until he would have another fees test. It was good that Micah decided to cooperate with his therapist on her first day working with him.
Britt and I on the other hand have spent a fair bit of time today trying to jump through hopes to get Micah home. I talked with our insurance agent yesterday and found out that it is impossible for us to add any sort of home nursing care to our policy. It is not even an option if you buy your own insurance, at least through Anthem. I then spent over an hour on the phone with someone from Medicaid, they needed verification of a bunch of different things. They still have a couple of things they need us to get to them before they can continue that process of getting us approved. We also had a little trouble finding out who in Cincinnati has Micah's birth certificate ( there are several different groups in Cincy that could have had it on file). I called the most logical one, the county office, but they did not have it because they do not deal with deliveries at Children's Hospital. I was also told that babies are not delivered at Children's. I told her that there are special instances in which they are. I really wanted to tell her that I knew where my son was born and that it was Children's. We believe we have located the city office where Micah's birth certificate is and now we need to get it on its way to us. We hope that it does not take too long.

Our patience is wearing a little thin at times so we still need lots of prayer.
