Micah’s Update – 100 Days Later, Our Miracle Boy is Home 💙
We know it’s been a little while since the last update, but we’ve been soaking in every single moment of Micah’s incredible progress. He has been working so hard, and we are so proud to finally share what he’s been up to.
It feels like a lifetime ago that we were in the ICU—and we are beyond thankful to say that just days after our last update, on August 2nd, Micah was moved out of the ICU after nearly 70 days there. He was transferred to the oncology floor with a bigger room (and a big TV!)—a very welcome change.
From there, his team put him straight to work. Micah was getting dressed in his own clothes and working daily with PT. By August 7th, he was already making laps around the floor with his walker! Side steps, squats, donkey kicks, walking—you name it, Micah was tackling it with determination and strength.
On August 15th, we got the news that he would be moving to Baylor Scott & White Rehabilitation (BIR). His incredible PICU team even came to send him off—our gratitude for their attentive care, encouragement, and love cannot be put into words. Once at BIR, Micah didn’t miss a beat. Evaluations began right away, and for the next 15 days, he poured himself into at least 3 hours of therapy each day. He walked on the treadmill, boxed with the exercise ball, and worked with speech therapy. On his last day at BIR, he even walked up and down the stairs in the fire exit!
We have been on this journey for 100 days. We were told Micah might never wake up, and if he did, that his quality of life would be minimal. Today, Micah is a living, breathing, walking miracle. 💙
This morning, he was up early, dressed, had breakfast, and anxiously waited for the discharge papers. At 9 AM, he rolled out of BIR with both dimples showing, grinning ear to ear, because he was finally going home. Brad worked so hard to transform Micah’s bedroom and bathroom into an accessible space—and Micah was thrilled to see his new setup.
Micah’s gait is getting stronger every day, and his balance is improving. His speech continues to progress—though it can still be difficult to get all of his words out, therapy and time are on his side. His blood counts are looking amazing, and his latest lumbar puncture came back all clear. He will continue this round of chemo, with another treatment scheduled for September 16th.
So what’s next? Micah will begin his next chapter at Pate’s Day Neuro Rehabilitation program in Anna. We are excited to see what else he will accomplish in this next phase.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for continuing to walk with us through every high and low. Your prayers, encouragement, and love are a huge part of this journey. Micah is truly a miracle in motion. 💛
With love,
Brad, Isa, and Micah
