4 months - Surgery next Monday.


Micah is now 4 months and getting the hang of this photo with the bear thing... he humors me for a couple of shots, and then tries to eat his bear.

In Micah news he is now rolling over, although he doesn't like being on his tummy, so it makes me wonder why he insists on rolling there every time we put him down. Maybe because he gets coaching from his sister along the lines of "You can do it! Good job little buddy".

I debated sharing this next piece of news on such a public forum, but we need all the prayers we can get. Micah will be undergoing surgery next Monday, December 6 at 7.30am. He will be having an outpatient procedure at CHOC to correct a minor birth defect. I will spare you the medical explanation, lets just say his pee hole is not quite right. The defect, and surgery to fix it is relatively common, but that does not make it easier to picture Micah being taken and put under anesthesia, or what his recovery may be like.
Please keep us all in prayer during this time. Micah for all aspects of surgery from pre-op (not being able to eat for 5 hours prior to surgery), anesthesia, surgery, post-op, recovery and how this all will affect his sleep. For Cassia to understand the extra time and care Micah will need. For us (especially Me) to have calm hearts.

Thanks everyone, I will be updating my status on facebook throughout the day on Monday to keep you posted on how Micah is doing.
