Michael is still in critical condition.

It is touch and go right now, but we believe that Michael is our miracle baby.

Megan and Thomas are able to go in to see Michael every hour or so. During their most recent visit, they learned that Michael peed on his own and his blood pressure was up a bit. He also responded to his dad calling him "Little Mick" and his mom singing to him. He is still every bit as precious.

We are so comforted by your continued thoughts and prayers and feel so fortunate to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends.
