Well, no luck yet on the liquids. Micah has been really sick to his stomach and thrown up 3 times total. He has not taken any liquids. He is so scared to throw up. It probably hurts though so I don't blame him. He has watched Jonah and then another Veggie Tale later. He is sleeping again right now with the help of some morphine. He has a temp of around 100 and has since surgery on and off. They are not worried unless it goes a little higher. It is very normal for fevers after surgery. Other than that, he is swolen in his hands and feet but that should go down once he is up and around and moving more. You can see a little bit of swelling in the picture in his arms. He is normally so thin. Micah has an IV in his right hand, an arterial (sp?) line in his right hand, an IV in his left foot, and a catheter. He has been great with all of these and hasn't messed with them thank goodness. He also has a pulse ox monitor on his right hand finger and some other monitors on his chest that are just stuck on. He was watching some basketball of all things earlier tonight! Daddy is at the Ronald McDonald house right now hopefully sleeping some and Grandma Cutler is being stubborn and sleeping in the lobby. She doesn't want to leave:)

Good Morning Kelli, I am praying that you, Dan, grandparents and any other family there are getting the rest that they need...along with Micah, of course! I am praying on and off all day for Micah's comfort and healing!
Hi, Kelli - Glad to hear the surgery is over. Our prayers continue for complete healing and road to recovery for your sweet boy! Thanks for sharing your journey. Prayers, too, for the rest of your family and baby-to-be.
Love,
Jan Pratt (Carrie Johns' mom)
