Micah update #1

The latest news on Micah has been positive so we are thankful for that! The latest blood tests on Micah show that the infection seems to be getting better. So the antibiotics are working. Micah is also starting to breath over his vent every once in a while, but the plan is to keep him on the respirator until his infection is better. So it seems like some progress is being made, little by little.

The difficult thing is that Derek and Claire really have very little contact with Micah. The visiting hours in the NICU are only 12-2pm and 5-7 pm. Right now there are a lot of babies in the NICU so Derek and Claire are not even allowed into the room. They can only look at Micah from a window outside the NICU. You can imagine how hard this had been for them! When I spoke with Claire yesterday she said that the comments and e-mails you have sent have been so encouraging for them. So please keep the encouraging words and prayers coming.
