Miller Family Snapshot 2006-04-30 (Part 2)
Belly time
Amelia's first solid food Good day and God bless.
Here is the latest and greatest going on with us. =)
1) We decided to have tubes put in Owen's ears. He received them last Friday. He hasn't miraculously started talking yet, but we're sure he'll feel much better not having fluid trapped back there.
2) PRAISE REPORT: Owen doesn't have a cyst after all. Dr. Gruber looked at his CT scans and determined that he instead has an enlarged "cisterna magna". The cisterna magna (also called the cisterna cerebellomedullaris) is a space that everyone has between the cerebellum and brainstem. His is simply bigger than average, and doesn't even require monitoring.
3) Amelia can now officially "flip" from back to belly and belly to back. I say “flip” because its not quite a smooth roll yet. She had only picked up the ability to go from belly to back a few days ago. We're glad she did, because she would go from back to belly, then get irritated that she couldn't "undo" what she did. =) One other side note: she has also started solid foods. Namely applesauce. She looooves it.
4) My speaking engagement last week went well. I was able to represent donors and donor families at a ceremony at Sacred Heart Medical Center honoring organ donation. Not only were donors represented, but recipients and staff members were as well. The three of us (technically four - there were two staff members) planted three rose bushes bred especially for this purpose. Praise God for the ability to share Micah's story!
5) Lastly, on Friday I get to take the national LPN exam. If you think about us this week, I would appreciate the prayer for that in particular. It's at 0900 that Friday.
We love you dearly. May Jesus bless you and yours this coming week!!
Love,

How old is Owen now? I just wanted to let you know that by Trevor's 2nd B'day, he still had not muttered so much as a "no" or "mama"! Nothing! There was nothing wrong, though. He just wanted to take his time and he started talking a little after that and talks beautifully now! And, he hasn't had a single ear infection since having tubes put in, either! That was about 9 months ago! PTL! Sounds like you guys are doing awesome!
