After talking to the doctors today we have a better understanding that whatever caused the in initial intussusception was most likely what caused the infection in small bowel as well. They have put him on a stronger antibiotic that should cover a wider range of infections. We have had a day full of trials and tears, and we know that this rollercoaster we are on is far from over. We are thankful for every second we have with our little man. Right now Momma is reading him a book and feeling his toes move. Oh, by way the way, HIS TOES ARE MOVING!!!! Oh the joy to see his little piggies move. It's really a sweet end to the day.
Hanna came down last night and spent some time with us. She even stayed with us at the Rainbow house. She so loves her little brother. We were sad to see her go tonight, but it really helped us through the day to get a blind-sided bear-hug. They let her feed the saltwater fish this afternoon (Nemo, Dory, and the whole gang are in the tank). It's been a week since we started this journey at the Children Hospital. We have met a lot of great, caring, and hopeful people.
We are blessed to have another day with our son, as another family here prepares to say goodbye to theirs. We do not know much about their situation because they do not speak English, but the emotions we shared are universal. We pray that they find peace at the end of their long journey.

Troy and Allison,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you had such a trying day. You were in my thoughts (and dreams!) all night last. But those little moving toes had to be such a reward at the end of the day! I don't think I have ever prayed so hard in all my life as I did this last week. Please continue to stay strong.
God bless,
Holly

Dear Troy and Allison,
ReplyDeleteOur hearts go out to you with what you're experiencing with Kade and the other families with ill children at the hospital. I know seeing another family lose their child places doubts in your minds, but remember, each case is so different and you are in awesome hands....the staff at the hospital....and most importantly, God's hands. He will carry you through this trial by surrounding you with His followers. Continue to draw from their strength. May you feel His peace and presence today as you care for Kade and each other.
