Kade just got moved back into his crib. He had been on regular bed this week for easy transport down to the OR. Surgery was pleased this morning when they saw bile in his stoma bag. They would like him to start eating again, very slowly of course, 1 cc/hour. It has not happened yet, but I would assume that once they put the feeding tube in though his nose, they will pull out the OG tube from his mouth, which sucks stuff out of his stomach. He needs more calories for all of the moving he does! He is finally resting. He goes through spurts of agitation which is mostly just the process of him healing and becoming more aware. Unfortunately, they have had to up on his sedation medication to help keep him calm, so we are not getting to see his eyes too much today. That is fine, as long as he is comfy!
We have a new neighbor today, a little baby that just had heart surgery. We pray that her little body recovers, and all the children that are sick continue to heal so that they may grow up to enjoy all that life has to offer.

Go Kade! We are so happy you are making such progress. Ellen has come home now, but she intends to be back mid-July for another surgery, so hopefully you can hang out on 4th floor together. You can compare feeding tubes and chat about how nice the nurses are. :) We are keeping you and your mommy and daddy in our prayers.
