Get Well Micah Doughty

I pray for Micah to make it and lead a normal life, his dad is a role model to which most NFL players should emulate (Fred Davis, I hope you are taking notice). I hope Reed has a long career with the Redskins as I have come admire this guy.

Considering they weren't sure Micah was going to make it this far, it sounds like he is doing pretty well. At least Doughty doesn't have to worry about even making the team, too.

I'm definitely rooting for Reed Doughty and his son and wife to make it through this. This is a very sad story and I'm glad that they've been able to get this far, hopefully he becomes a healthy little boy and will be able to live a good long life. Reed and his wife have a lot of perseverence and faith in them and they should be proud.

For Doughty, Good News On Son (http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=2804)

Doughty Gets Good News On His Ailing Son

Reed Doughty was back at Redskins Park on Monday, but his heart was with his son Micah.

Doughty left Redskins mini-camp on Sunday to go to a local hospital to be with Micah, who developed a fever over the weekend.

Micah underwent a kidney transplant earlier this year, complicating matters.

It turned out that Micah's fever was unrelated to the transplant. As of Monday afternoon, Micah's condition had improved. He is expected to be released from the hospital in a day or two.

Still it was a scary couple of days for Doughty and his wife Katherine.

Micah's temperature topped out at 105.8. Because of the transplant, he is not able to fight viruses

Good too hear it wasn't because of his transplant, and hopefully he will get better.

Good stuff. When you hear high fever after transplant, the first concern is that the body's immune system is recognizing the kidney as a foreign invader and ramps up the white blood cell count (causing the fever) and attacking the kidney.

You also worry about serious bacterial infection.

But it sounds like this was a nasty virus. The little guy can certainly handle that and more, if he's as tough as his dad is. And he does seem to be that tough.

Not much is worse in life than little kids getting really sick. Glad to hear he's on the mend.

Yeah there is no worse feeling in the world than when your kids are sick or hurt. I have been very blessed that my kids have never had anything 'serious', and just cant imagine what Reed and his wife go thru daily, even with their faith as strong as it is, its gotta be painfully tuff to deal with. I wish their son a speedy recovery and I wish Reed a even better year this year than he had last year on the field.

Get well Micha.

Micah's temperature topped out at 105.8.
That's a legit fever - the worst we've ever hit is 104+, but our kids also don't have transplants. I can't imagine how scary this was for the Doughties. Glad to hear he's doing better.

Much prayer goes out to the Doughty family and Micah especially. A positive way to look at Sean's passing would be for Micah. Reed now has a spot locked up, more $ and insurance for Micah's super expensive medical care. God truly works in mysterious ways. Get well Micah

Get well Micah. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Reed and the rest of the family.
