We got to go to Romaniv today to see Micah. It was the best visit yet. We were very happy with the visit. We found out some things today that are difficult for us to deal with but do explain some of Micah’s behaviors (apparently, it’s common to administer behavior controlling medications in the mental institutions). We hope that getting him out of the environment and “detoxed” that things will be okay. You can pray. Please don’t ask more about it right now. When the time is right, we’ll share if we can. Now for some very sweet pictures!

Miss Patty Cake was on inside the crib. He sat outside it and watched (this kept his hands off the computer!)
Praying over our little one. You might see the throw-up on his face. He did that while we prayed with our eyes closed. I may have to burn my shirt. Argh. Actually, maybe I’ll burn all my clothes. 🙂 Be blessed our friends! Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Pray tomorrow morning. Our court was moved to 3:00 pm (7:00 a.m. Oklahoma Time). Please pray.
