Caden is still on the ventilator this morning. They tried weening him off last night, but they had to come back up on the rate because blood tests and observations of Caden showed that he was not picking up breathing on his own as the machine was being turned down. This is mostly because he is still coming down off the medications. They have given him a little pain medication through the night to help him rest. He looks great and has been playing with me a little this morning with his feet. His little arms are restrained to keep him from pulling on the ventilator tube and chest drain.
We thank God for His protection over Caden through these procedures. We give Him all the glory for the success in Caden’s health. Please continue to pray with us for a fast and smooth transition off of these medications. Pray for his continued comfort and rest. Caden got three separate incisions and we pray for rapid healing of those areas.
