We have just returned from seeing Mr. Michael this morning. He had a less than good night. Not a real bad night but not a real good one either. The breathing tube that they put in when he was born is really small because of his small jaw and has been causing some leaks which affected his oxygen level last night. They are putting in a new, larger tube today to see if that will help. His blood pressure seems to be doing ok now. They have him on the lowest dosage of the meds for that...
*news break*
Just spoke with the Dr. as I was typing this. The new tube is in and he is back to room level oxygen on the ventilator. They may actually take him off of the blood pressure meds today if he continues to do well. He has some jaundice but the Dr. doesn't think he will need the tanning bed right now.
Some days are harder than others and today has been one of those days. God wired me as a "fixer", I see a problem, I do what I can to fix it. As a husband and a dad, it hurts me to see my wife or any of my children sad or hurting and me not be able to just fix it. I know God is in control but some days we need to be reminded of by Him.
Again, let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and love for Michael and our family.

Starting my morning praying for sweet Michael and I just finished posting for prayer on my blog. I understand your "father and husband heart" Shane, and am asking God to give you the strength, peace and wisdom to balance all of this in your heart. Praying for all of you as you walk this road.
Love and Hugs, Laurie
Here to praise God for another day for Michael.
Praying!
Dear Shane, I want you to know I am praying for your family. Jan McVey told us about baby Michael. My wife Laura and I had twin girls who were born at 23.5 weeks in 2003 and were hospitalized for four months. Your pictures look very familiar to us! Know that we will be lifting you up to the Lord; please email us and let us know if we can do anything for you.
In Jesus,
Clay Owens
