Sorry it's been a couple days. Honestly there's not been much to report but as you know, sometimes no new is good news. That said, here's what we know today.
Micah had been having a rough time with withdrawals from medication. He had a fever and "shakes" the night before last. Heather did get to lay in bed with him & just hold him. I'm certain that was comforting to both of them. The doctors are trying to balance giving him enough meds to treat pain and counter the effect without causing future withdrawals. This is a gentle balancing act because everyone's different. There's no single formula but they're working at it.
Heather & John had an opportunity to hold Micah yesterday. This was simply fantastic! I've attached a picture of Heather & Micah. It's such a sweet sight!
Micah will be starting neuro-rehabilitation at Barrow TODAY! They're one of the top facilities in the country for this treatment so it's quite a blessing that Micah is going there. I've heard from several people in the medical industry that this is the place to be. Another prayer answered!
As promised, the Andrews are just about ready for visitors. Please give them a couple days to settle into the new schedule & *** VERY IMPORTANT *** make sure to call John BEFORE coming. You will get to see Micah but he'll be on a strict rehab schedule. The docs will NOT allow a session to be interrupted so for your own time-sake, schedule ahead. When you call John, you might need to leave a message because reception in the hospital is limited. A text might get to him faster. Please wait for him to reply with a time. The rehab schedule is not the same from day to day so please check each time you plan to visit. Barrow is located at 350 West Thomas Road, Phoenix, AZ 85013. It's basically the 3rd Street building by St. Josephs.
Thanks again for all your prayers & KEEP PRAYING. Rehab will be hard work for Micah but God has performed many miracles here. I'm certain there are more to come!
God bless you all!
