Hello friends,
When I got to RJ this morning I got to Micah's room and he was gone.  I went to the nurses station and asked our nurses assistant where to find my boy she said, " Oh, we lost him."  Most of our nurses have this same sense of humor, which is a good thing for us.  When I found him one of the PHRS (activities people) had saved him from being parked in a chair in front of the Barney show.  I thanked her profusely as Micah can't stand to watch Barney and then we went for a stroll around the building stopping to look at anything that caught his attention.  Most of it was caught by Sammy, a golden retriever that was here with one of the volunteers.  Sammy came to see Micah and slobbered all over his hands which he liked a lot!  Micah has been very happy today, smiling at everyone that comes to the room.  He just finished his lunch and had his OT here, we are waiting on the ST to come and then we will go for another walk, possibly outside if it doesn't rain again.  
We bought him a St. Louis Blues shirt since we're here and found out that he might get to meet some of their players while we're here.  
Tomorrow we are supposed to get to start doing therapy in the gym here so that should be great fun for Micah as they have all sorts of neat things around here.  I will have to get back to you as Micah is just about ready to get back in his chair. 


4 PM
We did not get to get back into the chair for long as Micah's blood pressure was low so he didn't get his meds at his regular time as they both will affect the BP.  He had a little posturing, but that has calmed down.  The good news with this ordeal was that his BP is leveling out good and they are reducing one of his meds because of that, yeah!  The less meds we have the better it is in my book.  Right now Micah is getting his hair cut by the charge nurse who is also a beautician, then he will be headed to the whirlpool tub.  Clipped, lathered & lotioned then he'll be lookin' good!  Sometime tomorrow his brothers and sisters will be coming to see him, I think he will be very happy as he looks at the picture of them all the time.  
Micah slept through the night again last night which, I think, is one of the main reasons that he has been so happy the last two days.  They are getting ready to change his food and then start increasing the daytime feeds and decreasing the night time so that he will be on a regular eating schedule.  Thus far he has adjusted well to all the changes they have made and we keep praying for a miracle while taking care pf the daily needs.  Gotta go, getting ready for the bath.  God keeps providing for every need we've had, He is too good.
Blessings,
Tina
