Today was a very good day. Caed hit a big milestone. He went 23 hrs. without throwing up! (longest he's ever gone!) Todd and I were disappointed tonight after he got sick, but...when you look at today overall, it was a huge accomplishment. Hopefully we'll have more days like this. They also took him off his PCA (continual drip line of pain med). He did good all day, not in a lot of pain that we could tell. We're just trying to keep the Tylenol and Motrin going pretty regularly to keep him "comfortable." Tonight he has cried more about his tummy hurting than he has the whole day. The drs. also started his J-tube (intestinal) feedings today. He's only getting 3 cc./hr., which is not even a tsp. They will gradually increase it like they did with the nasal tube. He ate a little bit today as well. (2 crackers and few bites of yogurt) He walked all the way to the elevator too. He did great!! We had lots of family come to see him and they spent most of the day here. We had some good "crazy Caed" moments again, which we love to see. (will try to get another video posted soon) He performed his Chipmunk song again for a few more hospital employees. The word is spreading through the halls!
Sorry the blogs have been kinda short the last few days. They have been good, full days...and Todd and I are still trying to recover from our sicknesses. (we are getting better) Thanks for continuing to pray for Caed...we believe he IS getting better! Patience would be a good prayer request for us now! (just completed week #7!!) We love you, and THANK YOU for ALL you are doing!!! You have been such a blessing to us!

It is good to know what is going on. I love you guys Addie
God is so good to give us some encouragement just when we need it. We are so thankful to Him for seeing Caed's progress...when you look at the whole 7 weeks and can see the improvements! Yea God! Our verse yesterday in Children's Church was Psalm 31:21, "Praise be to the LORD, for He showed His wonderful love to me." I told the kids that it was like saying, "Yea God! He loves me!"
Know that you are all loved too by all of us in Celina!

Praise God! And the pictures of Reagan and Caleb, and Caleb and Caed are wonderful! Caed and Caleb are going to be great buddies - look at that little grin on Caleb's face.
Thank You, Father, that Caed had a great day. Please help Monday to be another milestone in his recovery.
In Jesus,
Amen
