Today is my second day & night with Micah. Patricia was able to sleep in this morning at home, spend some time with Josiah, and had a chance to do some Christmas shopping today. Micah and I had an uneventful day which is good. No news is sometimes good news. It seems his output has decreased a little bit, I believe his output was slightly less than 300mL for a 12 hour period. His tube feeds are now running at 3mL/hour and he seems to be tolerating it well. His GI doctor will gradually increase the tube feeds depending on how well his intestines tolerate the (neocate) tube feeding. So it seems that little Micah maybe heading towards healing. There is a chance that the tube feeds can irritate his intestines and we would have to start from square one, but lets hope & pray that doesn't happen.
Psalm 39:7 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you."
