| Born September 1, 2006 at Kaiser Permanente on Lakeview in Anaheim,
California.
Day 1 - When I was born my heart stopped
beating and I could not breathe on my own.. The
doctors did an x-ray and found I had a collapsed lung. They
removed the free air from my chest cavity and brought me back to life
after at least 30 minutes. I was put on a breathing machine and have
had a few seizures and I'm on on medicine for them, it makes me really
sleepy.
Not sure why this happened? I do know I was
perfectly fine when I was in my mothers tummy so warm and cozy. She took
such good care of me in her tummy. |

Day 10 - I had seizures tonight so bad
that they had to give me 4 doses of medicine.
Day 13 - I got a little blood
transfusion today I am still so sleepy from seizure medicine.
Day
17 - I got my mask taken off for the whole night and I have kept it
off. My Grandma Terry brought me a radio so I can listen to soft
Christian music. I love it, it makes me feel so special, when
I grow up I am going to already know how to sing to God.
Day 18 - I am getting stronger and I
tried sucking the doctors finger today.
Day 19 - I started sucking therapy
today. It kinda tickled my tongue. But the therapist said I did a
good job and it will just take a few tries. My mommy started
physical therapy with me today so she can learn how to get me in
shape. I am going to get so good at all this stuff. I love my
mommy and Daddy! Today my mom said other people can hold me now
because I am getting so strong. Grandma Cary, Aunt
Melanie and Uncle Joshua held me today for the first time.
| Day
20 - Grandma Terry and Grandpa Gary held me today, they turned
my oxygen cannula down to almost room air, so they can take it
off of me soon. The neurologist came to see me today and
said WOW you look like a different baby! They took my oxygen
cannula off some time during the night and the nurses take
turns holding me all night long. I'm trying so hard to get big
and strong to show everyone what I am made of! I am not
alone when my Mommy and Daddy go home to sleep God has never
left my side. |
| Day
21 - The therapist gave me 5 cc's through a bottle today and I
love it. For now she is going to feed me.. What she doesn't
realize is that God is with me and I am strong willed.. I will
show her tomorrow...My Mommy and Daddy can't stop staring at
me.....it's just me " Micah your little boy"
Day 22- I am kinda getting
cranky and stuff from being in here so long, all the drugs are
wearing off and I just want to go home with Mommy and Daddy
Day 23- I keep spitting up.
You know all baby's spit up... I think they are feeding me too
much.. I can't tell them when I am full and I get so
frustrated because I just don't want so much milk.. My tummy
is so little it can't hold that much.. Silly doctors...
Day 24- I miss my therapist
she's teaching me really good stuff and she doesn't come on
the weekend.
Day 25- Today I was so excited
because my therapist was supposed to come, then some strange
lady shows up.. I am like "who are you and what did you
do with my scushy therapist? She tried to help me but I just
wasn't comfortable.
Day 26- Today is my mommy's
birthday and I wish I was home with her.. My therapist came
today and I drank 10 cc's of milk from the bottle I was so
excited. She is warm and scushy and she loves to help me with
stuff!

xoxo
Day 27 - I got my feeding tube
put in today, this is so they can make sure I am getting
enough food when I go home. Mommy and Daddy and the Grandmas
are going to take CPR class I think they are getting ready for
me to come home soon Yippee!!
Day 28- I have a little fever
today so the doctors are giving me medicine.
Day 29- I'm still taking my
medicine and am getting better, my mom and dad are kinda sick
too!
Day 30- The doctors are going to
let me go home soon. They are ordering stuff for my mom
and dad to take home to take care of me. I am excited
about all of this. I can be with mommy and daddy always.
Day 31 - I am a month old today
and my grandma's and grandpa's and my beautiful Aunt Laura
came to visit me but I was sleeping. My
silly Grandma Cary tried to wake me up, but mom said no.
Day 35- I went home tonight and
cried all night long. My mom and dad think I am cute, so does
everyone else.. I like to cry It makes me feel good.. gotta
show everyone who's boss.. I have a little dog name Bowie he
doesn't understand me, when I cry he barks and then we are
both crying and barking. I only went home with the
feeding pump nothing else..
Day 36- Everyone in the house is
tired but me.. I'm trying to nurse on my momma but I just
can't quite figure out how to do it. But I am going to
keep trying because she loves me so much.
|
| Day38-
Grandma Cary made me drink from the bottle like my therapist
and I decided I like it. I'm in a bad mood and stuff from
being at the hospital but I like it at home. I have a new bed
and new room it is so cozy. My dog Bowie loves me and he
is kinda cute always trying to protect me and stuff. |
| Day
44- Mom and Grandma Cary decided I don't need to eat from my
tube anymore because I like it better when I suck on my
bottle. All day today I ate like a big boy. Mom's tired
so Grandma Cary stayed home and helped today. I eat 50 cc's or
more by myself every 2 to 3 hours. It makes me burp and
stuff.
Day 45- Grandma Cary babysat me
today while my dad took my mom to get her hair cut. My mom is
so pretty I love her so much. I went for a ride in Grandma's
car and she took me to lunch with Aunt Laura and Uncle Kory. I
heard them say I was a such a good boy today. I am just
Micah! I am so strong and I have to put up a fight all
the time, it is what has kept me alive and I refuse to stop
fighting... I am alive and I am loving it. It just feels
good to feel the wind in my hair and fresh air in my lungs.
When I got back home my grandpa Dave held me so tight,
Day 45- My mom is trying so hard
to nurse me... I want too, but I just haven't figured it out
yet.. I love my bottle though. Other than my feeding tube I am
just a regular little baby. I do all kinds of fun stuff,
like roll from my tummy to my back real fast in my cozy bed.
I have this fun vibrating chair that makes sounds when I touch
just the right spot. My Grandma Cary says I am very strong.
She is just so silly always kissing on me. I like it I
have never felt so loved as I do now that I am at home..
Day 57- WOW... My life just keeps
getting better and better.. I am going with Mom and Dad to the
Brain Institute in Philadelphia the first week in December
2006 so they can learn stuff to help me just in case I may
need it in the future...

meet my Great Uncle Danny and his family and I got to dress up
in big boy clothes. Here is a picture with my Mom, cousin
Kathryn and Aunt Melanie. I was so tired. I love my
pacifier.. I've kinda been spitting up alot, I am not sure why
but I just think my tummy is so full all the time. The
doctors say I need to keep gaining weight.. I am trying I say,
but it makes my tummy so full.
Day 88- Today I went to the
doctor and I weigh 9.61 lbs. and am 21.5 inches
long. Yahh I am growing up a little...
