But hopefully if i take care of myself it i will feel better quickly. Becca emailed everyone this morning while i was at work. SO i will post her email. It is good news, Mikey might not need surgery on Friday. yahoo. those candles and prayers work so well. Thank you all so very much. I will keep you all updated.
Becca's Post
hi everyone. i found out this morning that mikey may not need that extra surgery. they found his ventricles are still a little more enlarged then normal, but again, thats because the extra fluid on the side of his head is gone. once the ventricles start to decrease, the brain will expand and fill any void. his sutures and his soft spot are back to normal and his HC is down again. they are keeping a watchful eye on him though, just in case. his eating is still where I think it should be. he is eating between 55 to 65 cc's a feeding and they still feel that isnt enough. so instead of the tube (thank you!) they are fortifiying my breast milk and giving him formula that has 24 calories instead of 20 to see if that will help! it might be all he needs. they also do believe that he does have acid reflux and he will be medicated for that as well. i will update later! gotta run to the store and then get back to mikey!

Oh my gosh what wonderful news1 I am sitting here with goose bumps, you should never underestimate the power that God has and our prayers and good thoughts. This sure is wonderful news! We will continue to pray for him! God Bless him!!!!

Vall, I am so sorry that you don't feel well. That is the last thing youneed right now. The news is wonderful about little Mikey though. Y'all will be in my prayers still. Please take it easy for a day or two. Patty and Murfee

I couldnt have said it better myself. Thank God Mikey is on the road to recovery. He is answering all of our prayers and Mikey is proof of that.

Hi there Everyone,
I know you all are probably worried there is not update yet. Sorry between being sick and having to still take care of the older people I take care of and take care of Babybear and my family here at home I haven't had a chance to get on tonight. I didn't get home from Babybear's accupunture appointment until about quart of seven. So I have been trying to catch up with updates and all.
Becca called me earlier around 8 and told me the doctors are saying that as long as they can get Mikey's acid reflex under controll then he might be going home tomorrow. I had to ask so does this mean no surgery for sure on Friday. Becca said as long as the cat scan comes out fine tomorrow and Mikey's brain is doing great they are going to leave him alone. And if that is the case and he is still doing well on feedings he can go home. Thank God. I am hoping everything goes great over night and they can come home tomrrow. Becca told me not to be suprized if she pushes for more like Thursday. She said she would rather be safe then sorry. I said as long as you feel comfortable coming home then everything will be fine. No feeding tube either he is taking all his feeding by mouth since the surgery on Friday the 13th. And everyone claims that is a bad day. Well that is going to be Mikey's lucky day.
I will update tomorrow when I get home if they were able to leave or not.
YOu all have agreat night. OH and I am still not feeling well but I need to get better fast where they are coming home. So early to bed tonight. Thank you for all your prayers and lighting candles I knew with everyone's help it would work.
