Happy 11 month Birthday Kade!!
Today also marks 1 month since Kade's original surgery in Lincoln. One month ago we could not have imagined what was about to unfold, the truth is always stranger than fiction.
Our days in the PICU are now limited. During rounds this morning, the doctor mentioned that we could move to a regular floor possibly as early as tomorrow. This is exciting news for us. We are also a little anxious, as we will not have the "cloud of care" we have here in the PICU. Mostly we will miss all of the wonderful Drs and Nurses that we have grown to know and love. One nurse mentioned that they will look at room 207 as "Kade's room" for a long time after we are gone. They will certainly miss their "Kader" as much as we will miss them.
Not much is planned for today, just rest and to get his feeds increased. We were able to give him a little water from a bottle, which he thoroughly enjoyed!! He also had a good bath this morning. Kade is resting comfortably right now, when he wakes we will begin physical therapy.
Thanks to everyone for keeping up with the blog.

Out of the PICU is a big step, and I'm very excited for Kade and all of you. I am sorry about the results of the MRI, but you have exactly the right attitude about it---no one knows what the future will hold but you will deal with it as it comes and get him all the treatment he needs. Love is the best medicine for that little guy anyway, and he has plenty of that. Remember that doctors really don't know how any body, especially a little one like Kade, will respond to things and are just offering best guesses. Kade is a fighter with a great family and lots of prayer warriors.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Ellen and I hope to be joining you on 4th floor next week.
