Micah Andrews - UPDATE

Hello all,

John & Heather want to express their continued gratitude for your prayers. They're welcomed, needed & working! I'm going to be transitioning to weekly updates so you an all see the blessings happening but please keep Micah & the whole Andrews family in your DAILY prayers.

It's been an exciting week for Micah! At the beginning of last week Micah was pretty limp when someone would pick him up, his movements were fairly erratic and he had very limited control of his right side. Now - a totally different story! He's becoming increasingly active, more precise with his movements (like picking up & holding onto a ball) and attempting to sit up on his own, on the right side! He still requires some help but he's progressing by leaps & bounds. It's so encouraging to see.

The rehab team is working on retraining Micah to eat orally. He's doing great & will be getting some chocolate pudding today! The doctors will be removing the feeding tube within the next few days, once they can verify Micah's not aspirating food or liquids. All very exciting!

I've attached a picture of John, Micah & Elizabeth from my visit today. They all look great! I've also recorded a short video of Micah having a "pillow fight" with Heather. You can see just how active he's become. Click HERE ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifTkEoc6SVU ) to check it out...

It was a great visit. I'm looking forward to even better ones. Thanks so much for your continued prayers. Keep praying & God bless you all!
