The bleeding continued throughout the night. The bleeding is very slow, but concerning enough for the doctor to want to keep Caden one more day. Caden’s attending ENT doctor will not be in the hospital until later today so he may change the plan once he sees Caden in person. Right now I feel better about staying here until the bleeding stops. I have messed up quite a few wash cloths cleaning Caden up in the past twelve hours. Caden is really doing pretty well otherwise. He got up at about 7am and have been playing and watching a video.
The doctor (resident) who saw Caden this morning did have me sign a consent form in the event they see the need to take Caden back into surgery in rapid fashion. They course of action would be to find and stop the source of bleeding. They don’t feel like a return to surgery will be needed, but they want all the formalities out of the way just in case.  This resident was in the OR with Caden yesterday so he is up to speed on Caden’s case.
Please pray that Caden will heal without any surgical intervention. Also pray for his comfort and peace of mind. I will continue to post updates and send emails as we move forward.
