Micah Nelson Update

Sarah wrote the following at 1:30pm Monday:
Thanks everyone for your prayers for Micah and for us.His MRI showed two items of concern that we are going to be finding more out as soon as we find a doctor who will take his case here. Currently his file is sitting on a neuro doc's desk in Hancock, and he is deciding if he will take Micah as a patient or not. Please pray for guidance for him and for us. Otherwise, we will be driving to Marquette more than likely to see a specialist there asap.Micah's MRI showed a possible small aneuyrsym in his right carotid artery. We origanally understood this to be in the left, but it is in the right. Also, they found multiple lesions throughout the brain, consistent with his Neurofibromatosis Type 1. He will be having a CTA and some additional heart exams to decide treatment, if necessary and possible.As you can imagine we are all saddened, but not all together surprised as we knew that this is what his NF could hold for him. Please continue to pray for him, for his medical caregivers, and for us.

At 5:15am Today (Tuesday) Sarah writes:Barb and Friends - thank you all so much for praying for our Micah during this time. We hope, hope, hope to hear from the doc today as if he will see Micah or not, or if we have to pursue another specialist. The good news is that the abnormalities in his brain scan have not affected our son's love for life, nor his activity level. We take that as a good sign. Your prayers are so appreciated!
