Today's update will not be very long. (which I guess is a good thing) He did great through the night. Never woke up in pain or vomiting...only when the nurse came in to mess with him. We came out to Idalou around 2:30 and will leave around 7:30. He hasn't done bad. Most of the day he has wanted to just sit, but he still is moving around 10x more than he would if we were at the hospital. We have been clamping the G-tube more. When we see it (sickness) coming on, we go drain it. The drs. want to see it clamped more to FORCE the stomach to work. (hopefully it will begin to do so) It was funny because on our way out to Idalou, we were stopped at a red light just down from the hospital. My mom noticed Dr. Goldthorn was in the car right beside us! We rolled down the window and "discussed" Caed for a few seconds! ha! She told us a few things we might start trying. It was just weird having that conversation with her there on 19th Street! Anyway, we are still looking at bringing Caed "home" (to Idalou) for some Home Health care. (not sure when that will officially begin) We are already throwing out some ideas as far as him a bed, etc... I PRAY this will be the answer we've been looking for, and that THIS will help his body to recover. (it definitely can't hurt) He is more mobile when he's out, and he also eats more (maybe 1 piece of popcorn though). However, just being in this environment helps give him some "control" back. At the hospital he is at the mercy of everyone there. Keep praying..................
(thank you Justin, Logan, and Landry for stopping by! It was so good to see you all again. You've definitely grown from the 4th graders I remember you as! Y'all are very special guys!)
