Home!

Hello All,

Our Micah was able to come home last night!! He has been in the hospital just over three weeks and was so excited when we told him we were going "Bye Byes". He even put his jacket on with great joy (he usually doesn't like it)! We arrived home to a beautifully decorated sidewalk, balloons and banner from the kids in our CG. Once inside he wanted to sit in his chair, go upstairs and downstairs, read books with Nana, and hang out with his family we finally got him into bed about 10:30! But he slept well and we were all so glad to be home for a few days.

Micah is scheduled to have his stem cell harvest early next week and that will be an overnight at the hospital. After that we will be back home for for a few weeks. We have a very kind home nurse, Susan, who comes twice a week (Mon & Thurs) to draw his blood and help us out with any questions. We are also getting physical therapy set up to come to our home and his left side is getting stronger each day. He was quite tired today but seemed to enjoy playing with his toys.

We are so thankful to the Lord to be home as a fam and thank you for all your continued prayers for Micah and our family. There is no greater kindness! You all have cared for our family so well! We love the cards, emails, calls and are so thankful for all your prayers!!

With Love and much Thanks=)
Luke & Kriscinda, Braeton, Micah, and little Miss

Specific Prayer:
* The stem cell harvest would go well and quickly so he doesn't have to be in the hospital and sedated for long.
* That Luke & I would take one day at a time. There is alot to get used too. Luke is doing wonderful giving Micah his shots and our kitchen counter looks like a mini pharmacy. We are working on getting a schedule of his medicines together (there are alot, like 5 and then mouth care) and he doesn't like taking them even though it is through his NG tube. He is very sensitive to the medicine going through his tube so it must be done slowly or he throws up.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lam 3:22-24
