It's hard to believe that Micah has been admitted for 22 days. When Micah was first admitted he was so sick but he has progressed so nicely. His GI doctor is starting to decrease his IV TPN dose and are slowly increasing his nasal jejunum tube feeds. He is up to 13mL/hour on the tube feedings. We were told that he may develop an osmotic diarrhea as the rate of his tube feeds are increased. But so far Micah is doing well. I believe we are looking at another 3 weeks in the hospital and hopefully if all goes well, we will be home early January. Today Josiah and I paid mommy and Micah a visit and had lots of fun. Josiah and I crawled into the crib to spend some time with Micah.Saturday, December 20, 2008

I love this picture of the Class boys. Josiah looks like he is enjoying himself. Erykah and I just laughed when we saw it. I am glad to hear that Micah continues to get better. God gives us strength even when we feel we have very little left. 22 days is a long time, but God willing you will all be back home soon. We love you and continue to pray for you all during these difficult times.
