The retention sutures are out!! We are so happy to have them gone, not only for the obvious reasons, but also because the skin around them had become quite red the last couple of days. Kade did not fuss too much during the removal, and afterwards he had a look of relief and clam on his face. He fell asleep shortly after and is still snoring away!
We are thinking that we will be here throughout the weekend, and possibly heading home early next week. The case worker here made a good point that it is not good to go home on the weekend, since resources are limited over the weekends. This is fine with us, we want everyone to be accessiable to us during such a huge transition. Of course, Kade will determine our schedule.
We continue to work on eating with Kade. He still does not like his bottle, but we did get him to taste a little applesauce today. Eating will be a process that we will continue to work on.
Have a great night.

I'm so glad to hear that you will be going home soon. What a blessing. Prayers are still with you. We are in Vegas, but checking Kade's progess each day.

Kade is a strong little Loseke (and McDonald) and fortunate to have such a great family. God has a purpose for everything. You will all come out of this stronger and better people for it. Your faith has and will carry you through.
