You have to know by now I root for the true "UT" as in the University of Tennessee. And you probably already know in spite of all my efforts to do the godly and righteous thing of raising my boys to bleed orange I have only had very limited success.
Micah is my one bright spot at least in football season. In basketball season, he wears some very babyish shade of blue for some local team. But in football season he trades that in for a much manlier color of orange.
So this past week it was a fun moment for Micah and I as we talked about liver transplant and his new score to relate that to Peyton Manning (now QB for the Denver Broncos, wearing #18).
Micah has been on the transplant recipient list for a few weeks now. However, he was initially listed at -6. After a letter of exception was written, Micah's new score puts him and Peyton Manning together at #18.
This new number for Micah will be good for the next 3 months (till July 4). It is expected that with that score and where it places him on the transplant list that he will receive a new liver before July 4. No guarantee and certainly no way of knowing when this will come.
He continues to do well right now. He is playing coach-pitch baseball on the same team with Ethan. Both are gearing up for the first game next week, while Isaac played his first kid-pitch game last night. There's a new level of respect for my mom who juggled a minor league, little league, and senior league baseball player all at the same time growing up.
Micah does really well most days talking about what is to come. Some days are harder than other days, however, and last week there were tears and sadness during one conversation.
Thank you for continuing to pray. I will continue to post as updates are available.
