Sat. 4/19 - update

Today was a pretty good day for Caed. He now has both G and J tube drains gone. We were kinda nervous about the G one (stomach). He threw up 3 times today, and it was all gastric fluids. However, we also were pleased with it only being 3. (has been worse in the past) The weekends usually seem to be good for him because he has lots of visitors. This morning Uncle Matt and Aunt Kristi came back, but this time with a special toy. Caed had a water gun up here, but it broke, so they brought him a "Super Soaker!" He was so excited and couldn't wait to get outside to use it. We spent quite a bit of time outside playing w/ it all day today. The weather couldn't have been more perfect...it was beautiful. Greg and Kristie also came back up today. Caed got Greg good with the water gun! Then, this evening Grandaddy, Nana, Reagan, Caleb, Uncle Stan, Aunt Megan, Xan, and Grammy all were here too (each of them also got good and wet!). Good thing we have the big room now! Caed put on his show and sang the chipmunk song again several times. He's becoming quite popular...drawing big crowds to see the performance. His nurses have loved seeing this side of him. Overall, again it was a good day for Caed. We are just taking one day at a time and praying that his bowels and stomach can slowly begin to function properly again. We are optimistic that he is on the road to recovery (even though we know it is a very long road!).
