Caden’s Page

Caden is doing good today. Caden is not doing good enough to go home today. The good news is that Caden will likely get to go home over the weekend. The early estimates for Caden to go home today were based on how most children respond to getting a G-tube. The estimates for Caden to […]

Caden is doing good. While Caden is doing good at the moment, we have gone through a rough couple of days since leaving the PCICU. Caden now has an upper respiratory infection.

I just got a call from the hospital. Caden has had his last IV line removed. At this time he has absolutely no IV lines. YEAH!!! They did not replace the line with a new one because Caden no longer requires IV medication. The doctors want to monitor him for a couple of days to […]

I just got up and called the hospital. Caden is off the breathing machine. YEAH!!! Sherry was holding him so I did not get a chance to talk to her. I will update you more later.
