Today was a much better day! The highest his temp reached was 100.9. He just seemed overall to feel better. We still had our moments of pain and vomiting, but he was more relaxed today and watched lots of cartoons. The drs. have been wanting him to blow bubbles or a pinwheel to exercise his lungs. He did it once in ICU, saw that it hurt, and hasn't been interested since. We can just say the word "bubbles" and he lets out a cry. However, today I thought I would get them out and blow them myself. (just to get his mind on something different) One time a few floated above his bed and all of a sudden he reached up and grabbed one. (it really shocked me b/c he doesn't like using his arms/hands for anything) After he popped the bubble, he smiled the biggest smile ever!! Then he began LAUGHING!!! Again first time we've seen or heard that in 11 days. It was such a wonderful moment!!! Thank you God....we needed to see that precious smile again. He pooped again twice today which was wonderful, however the drs. seem more concerned with him passing gas. I know that is a strange prayer request, but specifically that is a great need for him right now. His x-rays came back basically the same which the dr. said was ok. She said it was going to take time. Caed walked twice today and this time it was ALL the way down the hall to the window. He did great!! (even though he didn't like it) Our goal is to eventually get around to the playroom!!! Maybe someday very soon! Thanks for your prayers. We have been encouraged today. Hopefully he will have a good night for Daddy and Grandaddy (the "night shift").

Praise God! Such great news!!! Oh, how I wish I could have been there too to see him smile and laugh. We will continue to pray. Gonna be in Dallas this weekend. Sad we will miss you this time. We might make a special trip to see Caleb and the No Bellybutton Kid. We'll pray for pooting!

Our thoughts & prayer are with each of you and with each doctor and nurse that is treating Caed.
I have been receiving email updates from Katie & Mary and can't stop thinking about your family. We are wishing Caed a speedy recovery and that the pain will stop very soon.

Our prayers are with you and Caed each day! We are praying for the infection to go away, healing to occur and comfort for the pain. Caed is such a sweet, precious child and I pray that his smiles and laughter multiply each day! You are very much loved and missed in Celina!
