How right you were Greg for your comment! We SHOULD have waited until after our dr. visit (weight check) to give Caed a haircut. ha! He did not gain anything this week. (remains at 33 1/2 lbs.) The dr. said if he's not up to 34 lbs. by next week, he will want us to go back on TPN. (only 6-8 hrs. @ night) Not good news! But....we'll do what we have to. Just pray for those few more ounces this week!!!!!!!!!
Everything else went well today. (other than his dressing change this morning.....it was "just one of those days.") However, his sweet nurse brought him a birthday present. He was so excited and LOVED it all!!! Thank you Laura. We love you!
Continue to pray obviously for Caed's weight this week. Also.....I will ask you again to remember me. I am struggling with lots of stuff. My prayer is simply for clarity!

Lori,
Tell Caed that Michael Phelps, the Olympic swimmer, is supposed to eat - get this... 8,000 to 10,000 calories a day just to keep up his body weight. Can you imagine that?
I'll be glad to donate some of my extra "ounces/pounds" to Caed.
Keep up the good work, buddy!

Just keep the faith. We are all still prying for you all.I just feel that you are all going to be back home and all will be well soon. God has used you all in such a powerful way to reach so many.
Lori,
the stress on all of you has been so great. It is so very hard for a mother's heart to see her child suffer. When you can't see the end, it is hard to keep going; at those times, we have to just make the decision to trust. Sounds easy, but it is the hardest thing to do.
Rest, Lori, in the knowledge that He is in control. Trust His heart.
Rest yourself - let your wonderful family comfort you.
