UPDATE 2:
On tuesday August 11th we were finally discharged! Micaiah still has healing to do. He is weak and anemic. The doctors will keep a close watch on his recovery through bloodwork and outpatient appointments. They will see how much of his kidney function returns. Please pray for no lasting damage to his kidneys. Thank you so much for your prayers and generous support, it's been overwhelming in the best way. Thank you. - Miller family
UPDATE 1 8/4
After 5 days in the PICU following a scary situation in Micaiah's surgery and some intense treatment with CRRT, we were discharged and will go to another pediatric unit on the 3rd floor where they will continue to monitor his recovery. They need to see some more things happen before we can leave. Please pray for full restoration of Micaiah's kidneys and the rest of his body which was impacted by the illness. We are believing for no lasting damage or effects from this condition.
ORIGINAL POST
The Miller's are walking through an extremely difficult time with their son Micaiah being in the hospital with sick kidneys, he is being treated for hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), caused by an E. coli toxin damaging blood vessels throughout his body, with the kidneys bearing the brunt of that damage because of the sheer volume of blood they filter. There is no clean fix here: the doctors can only support his body and watch his blood, his inflammation, and his fluid levels as the condition runs its unpredictable course.
During this time Josh is off work to be with Micaiah in the hospital, would you consider supporting them until he is able to get back to work!? Expenses rise with gas to and from the hospital, food while at the hospital, as well as keeping up regular bills.
We serve a mighty God, and we believe with this family for Micaiah’s quick and full restoration.
