Tuesday Morning (6-23)

Kade has taken another big step here in the PICU, he is sharing a nurse!! Usually he has a nurse dedicated solely to him. The doctors are also spacing out the time between labs and vitals, which is a positive sign of his improving health. He has been opening his eyes more and also tracking as we talk to him!

The Surgery team just stopped by and confirmed that Kade's surgery is at 8 am tomorrow to close his belly. That may change once the surgeon gets in there, but he was pretty positive yesterday that it will happen. Tomorrow will be Kade's 10th surgery in just 16 days. After Kade's belly is closed and his pressures are good, the next step will be to get off of the ventilator and out of the PICU! These goals are withing arms reach!!
