Sunday (8-2)


The boys had a great time yesterday juggling toys and playing with cars. Kade has really done a 180 since Friday. He is giggling and laughing like normal. Which really helps our moods as well. Hanna and Mommy had a great time at the museum. It was good for them to have some fun time together. Although hanging at the hospital can be boring for some, Hanna has managed to make friends and now rides bikes around the hallways.


Kade is doing so well. He stayed awake from 11a.m. yesterday until 8:45 last night, few just two 10 minute cat naps in the middle. He slept soundly most of the night except every 4 hours when the nurses check his stats and give him some Tylenol. At 6a.m. this morning he was awake and ready to play again. For the most part Kade is just in his bed, but we do sit him up to play with toys and get exercise a few times a day. The epidural is still in and will be removed tomorrow. Until then he is restricted to his room so they can monitor him, so no wagon rides for now. He will get the rest of the staples out from Thursdays surgery today.

We have been praying that after they remove the epidural tomorrow Kade won't suffer from withdrawals from that pain killer as well. We hate the thought of having to go through that again, but we will do anything for this little guy. He will be getting some food in his tummy tomorrow as well. It's time to try out the G button. I hope that since Kade hasn't had anything in his stomach for the last 3-4 days he will decided to take a bottle on his own.

  1. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Casting Crowns has an amazing song called "Praise you in the Storm". I'm sure you've heard it, but wanted to share it just in case. It certainly has helped me more than I can tell.
    All our love and prayers are there for Kade and all of you as well.
