What a wonderfully boring day!!
We met with the doctors and staff this morning. It was good news. They said this is the best day he has had here. We received that wonderful news around 10:15a.m. Over lunch, Allison and I pondered the time frame that news was giving to us. We would have to say that the mass amount of prayers from churches around that time were heard. Those words have given us the spirit the carry forward and smile. God bless you all!
They are very happy with Kade's kidney output, it has been anywhere from 8 to 17ml per hour most of the day. Kade has gained a lot of weight since coming here. He started out at 21 lbs and today he weighed 30 lbs. So he has about 9 extra lbs of water weight added since Tuesday. I really thought one of his doctors was kidding when he said he would look like a sumo wrestler. He was spot on. His kidneys have a lot of catching up to do. The doctors have said that the water around his lungs and on the skull should subside as the kidneys keep draining.
They are still weaning him off blood pressure meds. I think this process could take awhile. He had to have one dose of maintenance fluids this afternoon, but as long as it's coming out his kidneys that's OK. Still no movement from our little man, hopefully soon.
Kade will get his dressing and wound-vac redone tomorrow. We pray his intestine and bowel show improvement during tomorrows procedure.
"May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you." PSALM 33:22

It is so good to hear good news this morning. I hope and pray that this continues for Kade and his family. It is good to hear that you had time with Hannah as well. She needs you also. Kade has his nurses taking care of him, but his big sister needs mommy and daddy loves too.
