Friday (07-03)

Kade has been very sleepy today. The MRI for today was canceled. As it turns out you can't do an MRI with metal still attached to your body. Surgery stopped by this afternoon and removed the 3 staples that were placed after his last surgery. Monday will probably be the next chance for the MRI, we are in no hurry to complete the scan, it is more to prepare for the future if needed.

Kade got a big bump in his "feeds" today. So far, he has been handling it so well they have bumped him up to 10ml an hour and adding another ml every 4 hours. We can now hear his tummy working with the stethoscope.

The doctors are planning to start slowing down on the drugs that are keeping Kade so sleepy. This is the first step in the slow weening process.

To pass the time on this rainy day, Allison and I put together some of our favorite pictures of Kade and the family together along with one of our favorite songs. Hope you enjoy it.

  4. What a wonderful video! God is blessing you each day as the song says. Mr. Kade is doing so well, even with his ups and downs. We all hit bumps in the road, but we pray that Kade's bumps aren't so large as he has had his fill for his short little lifetime. Hopefully the rest of his life won't be so bumpy. God Bless you All!

    Love you.
