Update

Okay, here's an update. Micah is on 8 East, NOT THE CICU. (YAY!!!!!) Micah is doing well right now. He's off the oxygen and breathing well. They are going to place an NJ tube for right now so that they can get him fed. (Which he will appreciate) The docs here need to get with GI (since GI doesn't want the G tube used at all) and general surgery. They need to decide whether or not to do the stomach wrap, especially since he's had ANOTHER aspiration event. It's too risky leaving things the way they are. Please pray the docs make wise decsions!

Update

This was from Susanne an hour ago; On the train now, heading to Boston. I spoke with one of the ER docs this morning around 3:30 and they told me he was stable and that they were going to be admitting him this morning. Apparently while he was in the ambulance he DeSated to about 70. For those who don't know, that means he wasn't getting enough oxygen to his blood and at 70% he was pretty grey. He was able to bring himself out of it though.

Update On Baby Micah

Micah is back at Children's Hospital Boston. He is still in the ER in Boston and he will be admitted this morning. Sounds like he stopped breathing at home and 911 was called. He is stabilized now and they are trying to figure out what happened. Susanne will be on her way to Boston this morning to be with him. Pray for her safety on the roads. Pray for the doctors and nurses who will be taking care of him today. I will update when I know more. Thanks for praying!!

7 WHOLE MONTHS!!!!!!!! IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow Micah turns 7 months!!!!!!!! I am SOO excited!!!!!! He spent his entire 6th month at home!!!!!! Tomorrow we will be spending the day in Boston. He's got check ups with 3 different departments and then a swallow study somewhere in there. Hopefully if he passes that study we might be able to start giving him a bottle again. Emily gave him a baby cookie the other day and he LOVED it!!!!! He nummed that thing so much!!!!! He was so messy when he was done. VERY CUTE!!!!! Oh and please pray for Noah! His throat is starting to hurt, and I'm afraid he may have caught Strep Throat from Jacob.
