We're home!

Hi all - Thanks for praying! Micah came home last night and has been fever free for a few days. There is no bacteria growing in his blood/spinal fluid now but we are giving him 21 days of IV antiobiotics through a port that was placed in the hospital to finish the job of "bacteria killing" :) Otherwise, Micah has no other issues, including no parasites, viruses, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases from Africa etc. He is just underweight and needs to catch up as far as motor and developmental skills.

Micah's final diagnosis was Salmonella Shigellosis (Shigella) in GI tract, blood and spinal fluid.

When we left Africa, Micah weighed 12.3 pounds. He was 11.3 when we arrived at the hospital 24 hours later. In the hospital he gained weight to 12.0 pounds. He's 26 inches long and continues to eat very well.

we're excited to begin our lives here at home! Pictures to follow shortly!
