Update on Micah

**Updated 10 pm**

Micah was moved out of ICU. His hip surgery is tentatively scheduled for Saturday. He is off all his tubes (chest tube, feeding tube). They are giving him oxygen to help with his belabored breathing.

**Updated 1 pm**

Micah will be moving out of ICU sometime today and will be moved to transitional care. He is awake & spoke today, but very weak. He needs to gain strength before his hip surgery. Pray as he will not be able to use crutches because of his broken collarbone. Thank you for praying.

************************************************

Micah has been moved down from critical status. He is making some improvement. He is breathing on his own, but his lungs are still week. He needs to have pins put in his hip which will require surgery. He is waiting to have that surgery. (Guessing that is more likely as he moves up to a stable condition.) Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for Micah and his family.

I forgot to mention in the original post that Micah has recently surrendered to preach. A few weeks ago, he went for a ride on his horse and was reading his Bible. He came home and told his parents he felt the Lord was calling him to preach.
