Sat. 3/29 - update

Not too much to report today. He has now had the feeding tube over 24 hrs. and is doing better with it. I think he has realized it isn't coming out. He doesn't mess with it, only scratches his nose under all the tape, etc... occasionally. They have increased the amount he's getting to 10 cc/ hr. (not much at all) Dr. G said he was a little anemic, and might possibly give him some blood tomorrow. His temp. has been better today (just low grade). His white blood cell count is ok, so they still aren't sure where the fever is coming from (possibly just something he's caught from being up here). He had a good afternoon in particular. Grandaddy found lots of money in his ears, and he really liked that! They also had a good game of "potty basketball." (you can't imagine how creative you have to be when you've been here as long as we have). Things are still just going very slowly. We are trying small amounts of food again, so hopefully we will see progress there. He has been in very little pain today and the throwing up is MUCH less!!! (no more bile.....yea!) So, the main prayer request now is him being able to eat and KEEP IT DOWN!!!! We love you all and thank you for your prayers, visits, cards, emails, posts, gifts, etc...... We continue to be overwhelmed how the Lord is using you all to minister to us during this time. What an awesome picture of what the body of Christ is supposed to look like.

Hi Lori and Todd:
It's now l:30am. Almost time to wake Matt for 2:00am prayer time.

Just so you will know, prayers are being lifted up for Caed even at DFW airport to the uttermost parts of Canada and Mexico! I had been getting updates from Keri while I have been flying but now am finally able to pull up Caed's blog on my cell. Crewmembers with laptops work well too.

Heavenly Father, You sent your word to heal us. We ask on the behalf of Caed that you continue to touch and heal his body. By faith we stand in agreement with your word. Amen.

PRAISE HIS NAME!
Nancy, Randy, Hillary & Matt

I know God has something really special for him in the days to come.He will have 1 SPECIAL testimony to tell.Tell your mom that I am sorry they lost the Johnson's from 1st B., but it is such a work of our Lord to send them our way at Victory Life Baptist. May all of you have a very special Lord's day...Our prayers will remain with all of you...Sharon and Jerry Wylie..Lubbock
