The good: 1. Dr. Bloss performed Caden's surgery. It turns out that he is one of the leading pediatric surgeons in Houston. 2. Cade's intubation tube was removed on Thursday. He is now breathing room air, which is great. 3. The fluid they've been extracting from his stomach is more clear instead of brown. That means it is improving. 4. After three procedures, they successfully entered a PIC line. Now they can use this instead of poking him for an IV over and over again.
- Thank you Lord for answered prayers!
The not so good: 1. It looks like the PIC line might be inflammed. If they determine it is, it will need to be removed. We really need the PIC line to avoid a possible surgery for a central line. 2. His incisions are probably infected. They took a culture to see what is going on. They started him on a new line of antibiotics to take care of it. 3. On Thursday his IV infiltrated into his foot. It made his foot swollen and blue. Now it has a big bruise on it.
Prayer requests: 1. Please pray for a successful PIC line. 2. Please pray that his infection will go away quickly. 3. Most importantly, please pray that he will be comfortable and able to sleep soundly with all that is going on in his body.
Thank you for all of your support! -Melody and Nathan
