4th Round Over

Hey All!

Micah came home Fri after finishing his 4th round of chemo and receiving his stem cells. This last week went well but it was long =).... Luke and Micah were at the hospital this week (Micah had his broviac replaced Mon and started chemo Tues) and Braet, Cianne and I were home ~ we sure missed those two!!! These last 3 rounds (2 now) are trying and tiring mainly because Micah has to have a bath every 4 to 6 hours, round the clock for 72 hours (due to the chemo secreting through his skin- otherwise it would burn him) and he's not been to happy to see his docs or the nurses.

Even though it becomes increasingly harder to watch Micah go through this our little reunion on Fri was sweet. And we have been so aware of God's kindness! Micah's nurses continue to take of little Grouch with joy, Katie ( who must be stopped =) brings crafts and visits daily, the ladies and my amazing mother have been wonderful in caring for me (I have had a uterus infection this last week) ~ not to mention the guys calls, emails, and Cameron coming to "babysit" as Luke cared for Micah so selflessly this week. We were also able to go celebrate some B-day's at Maw & Paws this weekend- what Fun!

We would as usual love your prayers, Luke took back Micah to the hospital at 3:30am this morning due to a fever, he is wiped out from the chemo and has Mucositis. His counts are also at 0. So we are praying that his counts come back up quickly and his recovery is fast.

Thanks for your care, concern and many prayers for our family!
Love Ya,
Luke & Kriscinda, Braet, Micah and Cianne

Great Things!
*Micah is eating and drinking better so he doesn't have to be on TPN -Wonderful!
*He is still walking!!!

Specific Prayer Requests:
* That he would continue to eat and drink even more.
* That his fever and the mucositis would leave quickly and there would be no infection between now and his next round of chemo (tentatively set to start-on June 6).
* Joy and peace for Micah at the hospital.
* Wisdom for Luke and I and that we would "Trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding"
