This episode is a reminder to trust your God-given intuition. If you feel something is wrong or off, get it checked out.
In this podcast, we share the story of Micah getting really sick recently and how it ended up landing him in the hospital. We got so many questions from you all about his illness and how we knew when it was time to take him to the hospital/what we experienced, that I thought recording a podcast episode sharing in-depth might be helpful.
We’re so grateful that Micah is doing better now and fully back to his sweet, busy, silly self! We missed all his smiles and laughter and singing while he was sick!
In this episode, we also give an update on what we’re reading, share a reader’s response to last week’s episode, and we have a fun and friendly “argument” over audiobooks.

I’m so sorry you all had to go through the ER, inpatient, etc. “adventure.” 😲😞
SO glad the Lord brought him through!
God was so faithful and it was an opportunity to trust Him through it all! I’m just grateful we felt that gut feeling to take him in when we did!
It’s good that you trusted your instinct that your son Micah was seriously ill! I can relate – my youngest son at 6 months old had pneumonia. His brother had gotten sick first, and I thought if the baby catches this, it would be serious! He was in the hospital for a few days in an oxygen tent. He’s 32 now!
Also, I like John Grisham’s books too. I’ve read all of his except the last one in the “Camino” series and the Theodore Boone books for kids.
I’m so glad your son was okay! It’s scary when they are so sick when they are so tiny like 6 months!
