Micah was home only a week after his 1 and a half long hospital stay and it was back up to the Emergency room at 2 AM on Tuesday morning. I had two molars pulled only 12 hours earlier and was a bit distracted with the pain and swelling but we bumbled along because we had to. He was de-saturating on his home oxygen set up and dipping towards the upper 80's fast. We spent the night in the ER and the next day in pediatric ICU catching naps in-between the hospital staff visits.
He was moved from ICU Wednesday to the regular floor in Doernbecher
and seemed to be tolerating it fairly well. He looked tired and
uncomfortable to me much of the day with a few highlights of a fun
physical therapy session and a visit from Great Uncle Steve and Great
Aunt Diane.
Today is an important CT scan of his upper airway
which, for Micah, is less fun then the average CT. He doesn't lay on his
back - it's too hard to breathe. So it comes with added anxiety to
perform this task.
Today's prayer request:
His CT is scheduled
for 1 pm. He needs to have everything go smoothly. No technical
difficulties, and competent staff and support staff. It needs to be
relatively on time because the not knowing and good timing of
anti-anxiety medication really makes it easier.
He needs calm breathing and no coughing during the CT so they get the important images they need the first time.
A sense of peace and safety for Micah.
Then tonight? Sleep. He needs long, uninterrupted sleep.
I thank God for you all and your love, support and faith extended on Micah's behalf.
