It is official, we are out of the PICU and now in room 409. It was almost 9:30 pm before we got everything up here, so unpacking will have to wait until the morning. There are major benefits to our new room!! We have our own bathroom, fridge and a real door! Other benefits include Kade being off of the heart and oxygen monitor! The only tube he has left is his Broviac line that was placed on Tuesday. The line is used mostly for nutritional needs, but can also be used for other meds if needed and blood draws. Currently all meds that Kade takes are oral. He is still adjusting to having formula in his tummy, but he has kept meds down! He had a total of 1 oz over a 30 minute time frame tonight and kept it down for over an hour now. He is resting comfortably right now, so I guess I should also!
Good night and thanks for all of your prayers and support!!

OMG! That is some of the best news I have ever heard! Thank you for sharing the videos too. It was wonderful to see your little man working it out with that bottle and his mobile. Thinking of you all.

It is so nice to hear that you guys are doing well. As happy as I am for you guys to be up on the floor I was pretty sad when I came into work on Friday night to an empty 207. Kade is a strong little man and he will continue to make great strides. Hang in there and get some rest when you can. I will continue to pray for your family. I promise I will stop by sometime this week. Kelly PICU RN.
