Your Grace is Enough

Hello All!
Thanks for being with us for the long haul, your care, meals, timely cards and prayers provide much strength and encouragement. There have been over 4000 visits to this Carepage in just five months!!!! How you have blessed our hearts!!!

“Your Grace is Enough” ….has been the theme of our last few weeks. As we have sung, prayed and clung to scripture. Chemo is severe and heart ache abounds as we learned of 3 of Micah’s friends who will soon leave this world and be with the Lord unless the Lord miraculously heals them. Our hearts have been heavy for their parents and family, if you could please remember Chloe, Adrian and Abi as you lift up Micah Man. Despite the hardships, God is at work and continues to provide peace, hope, grace and strength for each day.
Micah came home Friday after finishing his 5th round of chemo and we were able to enjoy a weekend at Maw & Paw’s, hanging out with the fam before going back into Children’s on Tuesday due to a fever.
He has not been feeling well at all, his counts are still 0 (they have been there since Mon) and he has been given blood twice, platelets twice and is on a morphine drip to manage the pain. His bottom is very sore and the mucositis is back but thankful not as bad. His urine and blood cultures are both growing things, so he is also on antibiotics. It’s so hard to watch him like this, but God is near to us. We are praying that his counts come up quickly, his fever would go away and that he will be feeling better soon!! The kiddos have been so sweet to each other, what a blessing to watch! Just yesterday Micah & Cianne were laying side-by-side in his crib and Micah was giving her sugar! Luke & I have been able to be at the hospital together some which has been really nice and helpful for both of us. Micah is drinking well and hasn’t been throwing up (thank the Lord). He’s been watching movies, reading books and is tremendously comforted by holding Dadda’s hand. We continue to be well taken care of and even though we don’t like being at Children’s we have wonderful friends here!
And we will praise Him in the storm for his love abounds to us!

Much Thanks to All!
Love, the Davis Crew,
Luke & Kriscinda, Braet-Braet, Micahnator and CC

“The Lord is gracious and merciful…the Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works…the Lord is near to all who call on him. Ps 145: 8, 13, 18

Updates:

-Cianne- thanks for praying for our little girl! Here is the update on her…she has hydronephrosis, it is not a severe case and usually corrects itself if not it will require surgery as she gets older. The docs will continue to watch it and we are setting up an appt with a specialist at Children’s. For more info http://www.duj.com/hydroneph rosis.html
