Sweet boy still hasn't cried. I actually wish he would... it might help his lungs get some much-needed exercise. He complains occasionally about the nasal cannula and tries to get it off (note in the photo his arm in a "No-No" so he can't get his hand to his face).
Micah is still on 40% oxygen through his cannula, he is tachypnic (breathes rapidly) and he is still retracting when he breathes (meaning he's working pretty hard). Not sure why this is and whether it's common 48 hours after extubation. I'm hoping he gets an echo in the next couple of days to check his heart function. There is a bit of confusion over the status of leakage in his heart valves when he was first admitted. I'm praying that it's nothing of concern.

Precious boy! Looks like an emerging smile... I hope he'll be well enough to go home soon. So glad he's perking up and able to get some cuddle time. Still praying...
God bless him...needed good news, so precious your little boy!
Micah looks wonderful! Wow, what a difference! I will be praying about his valves. Can't wait for you to have him home. I hope your mom is recovering well too! Kris

Oh I am so happy to read this today! I think about your little guy all the time, praise the Lord! Prayers are still going at the Ski house for Micah! Get home soon!

Sweet angel!! Micah looks so much better. More prayers for your little man.
He does look so much better! He is still in my prayers! Thanks for all of the updates - it is really helpful to know what to pray for specifically.
micah looks terrific! Praise God! continued prayers!
He looks GREAT!!! Such a sweet boy! We will continue to pray for much success here!
Praying the echo looks good. When a kido comes in super sick their heart tends to look worse. Its also quite common to breath super fast when you've been intubated. Especially our DS kids with low tone!
