At the Hospital all Weekend long






Ha if this was my first weekend back from Germany relaxing with my family, having a huge welcome back dinner planned for them and so on, God had other plans and I guess it was okay. Lots of time to reflect and realizing that its tough for us with not having any family around to ever help out. Really hard. We are truly just us, Kevin and I. I was also reflecting on my special single friends Jennifer and Leslie and I just don't know how you guys do it but I admire you. It is really hard to be at the hospital and have 3 other little ones at home, torn in all kinds of directions. I also was reflecting on all the families that have terminally ill children at the hospital and are there months at the time. Wow..

Poor Micah had a giant cyst growing in his face (I will post some pics another day) and after going to the hospital Wednesday and Thursday, on Friday they just decided to keep him. It was bad. They admitted him at 4:00pm on Friday. I came home about an hour ago, Kevin is with him, and he did not want me to leave. Hopefully they will let him go tomorrow. They had to keep him for 2 reasons, one being that they wanted to keep the band aid on all weekend after the surgery so Micah couldn't touch it, plus they stitched the skin inside, it was pretty deep, and also checking the cultures for infections which is nothing to reckon with. Cultures are not back yet but we are hoping to have them tomorrow. He has been on IV's all weekend them shooting antibiotics through his vanes, two different kinds. I sort of chuckled a little today because Micah is so tired of them taking his blood and stuff so today he cursed at them. I was like where did this come from...He also told them to get away and I don't like you... Poor guy, his hands and arms are all swollen.

Anyways, thought I get my thoughts down really quick before they leave my brain because I am really just functioning half empty right now...

Oh wow Andrea - I can't imagine how exhausted you are - after a big trip and then living at the hospital trying to comfort Micah. Poor Micah. He is a trooper though! Keep us posted on how he is doing.
