Sun. 3/16 - update

Well...what can I say, the last 24 hrs. have been extremely difficult. Caed was in pain constantly! They gave him med. for it, which only knocked him out. So, if he wasn't sleeping, he was crying out in excruciating pain! We really became worried b/c it reminded us of how he was doing the day this all happened. Dr. Goldthorne (surgeon) ordered a cat scan for this morning. Poor little guy... being wheeled off AGAIN to some strange place was hard for him. He told me (in between cries of pain), "Mama, I'm scared." I rode up on the gurney with him which helped a little. It was the longest afternoon we've experienced. Just waiting for the results. If it was the sm. intestine again, that would be devastating news b/c he can't loose much more or it could be fatal. All I prayed for was "Please let it just be GAS PAINS!!!!" (as bad as those are, we can get through it) Finally Dr. G came back and said she could see lots of air pockets throughout the bowels and also a big one in his colon. Thank you God!!!! She ordered a heavy duty suppository and said it should help to relieve some of it. Meanwhile, he threw up LOTS of bile!! The air was causing everything to get backed up. After about 45 minutes with the suppos., we had a party!! ha! (it worked) Afterwards he just lay calmly in the bed (something he hasn't done the last couple of days). We still haven't gotten a smile, but hopefully this will continue to work and we can see our Caed again. He continued to have some pain spasms, but they weren't nearly as severe. We pray things only get better from here!

Geez. Poor little buddy. Glad it was just gas. That's an understatement! We'll pray for more fart-relief. Someday, I will have to tease him about this! The band is going on a retreat starting tomorrow so we'll be lifting him up. God is good. Praying for strength for you guys as well. Love you

I am always sending my prayers, for Caed's healing, for strength through the hardest of times, and for god to place his hands on your family, to turn such a tragedy into something so beautiful
Caed is so blessed to have such amazing individuals to call mommy and daddy.

Love you!
Theresa Towns and family
