Kaden

Today was his second brain ultrasound and there are still no brain bleeds.  That is the best news.  He is still on the photo therapy lights and they put him on a different ventilator.  This one kinda shakes him and he doesn't look like he is breathing.  It's weird.  On the other ventilator he was not getting rid of the co2 so this new one has helped him with his blood gases improve.  They have to keep him sedated on it so he doesn't move around and Jacquie still can't hold him.  It was cute last night when Jacquie had her hands on his head and feet and took them away he started moving his hands as if to say, Hey where did you go.  It's neat to see that even sedated he knows his mom's touch.

Thanks for all the news of his progress. I can't believe you have time to do any posting at all! Watching all this must be agonizing. My eyes are filled with tears just reading it, but I feel how strong your faith is in him and I will continue to hope for the best. Hang in there!
