After all that we have been through recently, it was definitely relieving to hear some good news.

Yesterday, we got up early and boarded a plane down to Port-au-Prince to have a Neurologist check out Micah and make sure that everything was OK. There were a couple of different possibilities of what happened to Micah on Saturday night, but only one good one – it was a fluke. In order to find this out, though, Micah would have to have an EEG to make sure that all his brain waves and electrical impulses (so to speak) were normal. If they were not normal there was a strong likelihood that he may have something as serious as Epilepsy.

When we arrived at the doctor, we were several hours early for our appointment, but the doctor graciously saw Micah immediately. He did a physical examination, and everything was normal, and for us this seemed true, because Micah acted fully like himself yesterday for the first time in a couple of days. The doctor then had us begin the process of doing the EEG. A lot of the time, they give the babies a light sedative, so that they remain still; but the doctor wanted to try and test Micah without this. This is something we preferred as well, but we just wanted to the test to be done properly and accurately. As the nurse was putting on his electroid-thingies, though, Micah, as normal, decided it was play time, and needless to say had a very tough time remaining still for the test. We could do nothing but laugh and feel a sense of relief, because this was at his best. Eventually, we got Micah settled down enough to get enough charting recorded for the Doctor to analyze.

After his EEG analysis, the Doctor told us that there was nothing unusual or troubling about Micah’s EEG; in fact, he said it looks very good and normal. This was good news! No, great news! It was for sure the news that we were hoping for and everybody had been praying for.

We sincerely appreciate all of your cares, prayers, and concerns, and we know that they made a huge difference.

Blessings!
