Caden’s Page

Caden is still doing great even with a little nasal congestion that crops up each night. He continues to grow and act more like a “normal” eight-month old every day even though he still gets all of his food and medicine through his g-tube. We have still had to suction him several times per hour […]

I have to stop for a minute and share with you some inspiration. I am going to post a normal update in a few minutes, but first I want to respond to a comment by Hailey’s family on the July 4th posting. If you have not been following Hailey’s story, she was diagnosed with DiGeorge […]

We got home from the local 4th of July celebration less than an hour ago. Caden got to see fireworks for the first time. Fireworks were a fitting way to cap off this weekend. It was eventful to say the least. Before I get too far into the excitement of the weekend, let me say […]

I am back from my trip to the Secret City. I spent a couple of nights in Oak Ridge, TN. This is the location where the root of the nuke was assembled for the beginning of the end to WWII. I could tell you what I was doing there, but I would have to kill […]

Caden had a couple of visitors today. The physical therapist and nutritionist visited today. Caden is now weighing in at 14 lbs 11 oz and is a little over 27 inches in length. This puts Caden right on the 50th percentile in length for his age. He is very near to the 5th percentile in […]

I was hoping that Sherry would get a chance to write this, but she did not have time this past weekend. You see there is more to the story of Caden’s return home from the hospital. The surgery he had did not relieve us from carrying any equipment that we were issued to help take […]

This story brought tears to my eyes. Thanks to Michelle Malkin for leading me to this story.
