Thursday Morning (6-25)

Kade has an awesome mohawk this morning! He got a good bath, and his hair done by Nurse Kelly.

Last night he was noticeably uncomfortable and very agitated. His pain meds have been upped and he is also receiving Ativan and Morphine in addition to his continuous drips of Fentyl and Versed. I cannot imagine the pain and discomfort he feels from his belly, it is hard to watch, but I know that the drs and nurses are doing all they can to make him comfortable.

Today is all about healing and comfort. It is really amazing at how well Kade is doing. The drs and nurses have begun to talk to us about weaning the ventilator and narcotic drug withdrawal, both of which will not be fun, but obviously necessary! The days to come are going to be trying, as Kade struggles to understand what is going on. To wean the vent, Kade needs to be weaned off of sedation drugs to make sure that he is ready to breathe on his own.

Troy, Hanna and I are planning on going to the zoo today. She has been so good during this whole ordeal, we decided it is time for some fun!

As always, thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. We are blessed in so many ways!

    Kade is a lucky little boy to have you and Troy for parents. Know this has been a tough road, but you are all hanging in there. Continued thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Take care.

    With such a strong family, there is no doubt that Kade will tough through getting away from his maintenance support. He is very fortunate to have you guys.

    I am glad to hear that Kade is doing as well as he is. Hopefully Mommy and Daddy are getting some rest during this ordeal. Have fun at the zoo today and stay as cool as possible. Kade will be in good hands.

    Know that I am still praying for you all. Keep your faith - it will help you through this uphill battle for the next few days and weeks.

    Love ya all.
