-Grandmas! They are helping so much with our other children, comforting us, and running errands and my household. What on earth would we do without them?
-A wonderful hospital
-Kind, compassionate doctors
-chocolate milkshakes (Micah actually drank about 1/4 of one today. I think we may order one for every meal tomorrow!)
-A delicious dinner from Zoe's kitchen from my brother and sister-in-law
-my nephew, "mister man" and his chubby cheeks that I got to see for the first time in two months
-a husband who loves his son and is sacrificing everything to be with him around the clock
-The Lord's peace that comes just when we think we are really going to lose it
-text messages that keep coming and reminding us that we are so loved
-Golf (The tournament today actually had Micah's attention and he would open his eyes quite frequently to watch Bubba)
-Margot's disposition (It is evident the Lord knew she would have to be content to sleep in her carseat and hang out for long hours in the hospital. She has been such a champ.)
-Owen's disposition-we have heard nothing but good reports about what a sweet boy he has been. He knows he really has to step up to the plate right now and be the best brother he can be. He had a pretty good meltdown tonight when we got home-but hey, I have had my fair share too. Once I assured him that I would be the one to put him to bed tonight, he was good to go.
-That the Lord is not surprised by this. He has Micah in his hands, He knows Micah's illness, He is the Great Physician, and He will not leave us or forsake us. Micah says "yes" to a few questions one of them being "do you want us to pray with you, Micah?" Praise the Lord for my little boy's love for Jesus!

Dear Matt, Ginny, and Micah, Please know we are praying for you. Micah, there are six children here praying and looking forward to seeing you at church again soon! We hope you feel better and enjoy those milkshakes! Love, the May Family
Dear Ginny - This is Linda Scherrer. Nate shared your blog with me so that I can help the Prayer Team stay up to date on how to pray for Micah.
We went through this with 2 of my children, one at age 7 and the other at age 15. I empathize completely with you and am praying that the Lord provide for you in every hour for every need - and he will. With one of our children we never rec'd a diagnosis except that it was an unknown virus; and with the other, he rec'd a diagnosis of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both are in their 20's now and quite well.
It's a hard place to be in when your child is so sick. I know. You would do it for him if you could. Many prayers are going up to the throne on Micah's (and your) behalf, and do know that the Lord will make a way through all this and you will come out the other side - to the glory of God and the benefit of your family.
Hugs! ~ Linda
