Micah’s Condition Worsens (May 18, 2017)

Micah (May 18, 2017).jpgMighty Micah had a flare up with his IBD… and has been very ill for the last couple weeks. His weight has plummeted from 21.4 lb. to 15.7 lbs. Eating had been very difficult. His blood work was challenging… I truly thought I was going to lose him.

Today starts a new adventure… we had a feeding tube – an e-tube – put in in order to be able to control how much food he is getting. He can also eat through his mouth if he so desires… but now I know he will be getting nutrients. I was so frightened for him… but hopefully he will be true to his name – “Mighty Micah” – will recover to run another day. Thank you to all who have listened to me these past few weeks… it truly has been tough on us!!
