Update on Mikey 3:15
 

I am going to post my daughter's email so you can all see how excited she is.
hey everyone. i just wanted to let you know i was able to hold for for almost two hours now! and mike held for until he started to feel uncomfy (with all the wires and what not). so we both have had our fair share of time with mikey, but we can now hold him whenever we want!!!! he has been happily resting and is still doing perfect without the breathing tube. i was able to try and feed him. he took 6 cc's which is good because his throat is sore. so they gavaged the rest. he is almost due for his next feeding. he has been wide awake and loved being held finally. he doesnt look as swollen now either!!! hes starting to look like my little munchkin!!!! cross our fingers that he continues as he is and by tomorrow or the next day (24 to 48 hours) we will be in the childrens hospital instead of the PICU.
thanks for all the prayers!!!

I have fallen in love with Baby Mikey, and he is in my heart and prayers constantly. Sweet little fighter - no one is going to give up hope for you!

That is such great news. I will continue praying for little Mikey until hs is home safely.

Keep up the good fight Mikey, Sooooooo happy to hear that your on an upswing...Prayer is a powerful thing so sending more prayers your way....and relit my candle for you also. :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands:

Thank you
 

I just want to say. My daughter is not a member of YT, but she wants to thank everyone of you that have lite candles and prayed for Mikey. I also would like to thank each and everyone of you. He still isn't completely out of the woods yet. HE still might need surgery to remove that cystic hygroma from his brain. That will be another hurtle to conquer. I just hope they let him get stronger before they decide to do the surgery. I will keep you all update as I have tried. I am going up the Maine Med in the morning. Leaving here around 5am so I can get there at 6:30-7:00. I want to be there when teh doctors come in. My daughter wants me there when they come in also. She knows I will not keep my tongue in my mouth if I do not like what they have to say. She learned that Friday night.lol I guess if you want things done you have to lite a fire under there behinds. And now she knows. It was just hard for her to put her foot down. It sure wasn't for me though. I have been in her position before with my youngest child. he has had two open heart surgeries and I know when things aren't going right you need to step up and be you childs advicate. I was my grandson's the other night.
I am just so happy he is getting better. My daughter informed me if he has the vent back in, in the morning it is becuase he had a hard time durning the night and they needed to vent him. I told her I completely understand. Right now it has been 15 hours and 20 minutes since he pull the tubes out. So far so good. She should be giving a update soon. When she does i will post it. I hope she gets some rest tonight knowing that he is doing better. She was debating if she wanted to stay in his icu room tonight or go back to the Ronald Mac Donald house. I told her she should probably go back to RMD house to get some good rest before she couldn't get any rest at all.(hmm that would not be a bad thing either.lol)
Have to run. Thank you again.

Sounds like he's a fighter!! So glad he's improving. We'll keep up the prayers

I'm so glad to read the latest updates! Prayers are being answered and bless his sweet little heart! I'm so glad they can hold him now. That, in itself, will be great medicine for Mikey. Nothing feels better than being held and cuddled and loved and that does a body good. I'll keep praying for his total healing! Hugs to you and yours!!!

Oh that is just the best news I have heard all day. What a little champ Mikey is. I hope your daughter becomes a member here and we can all watch little Mikey grow up together. He has become such a huge part of all of us here.
