Caden’s Page

Caden has had tremendous weight gain . Caden now weighs 12 pounds. Caden’s feedings had been delivered into his tummy over a period of about an hour up until about two weeks ago. Sherry has been working very hard to get Caden’s feedings to where he completes a feeding in approximately thirty minutes. This has […]

Caden is doing great. He was weighed on Thursday by the nutritionist at 10 pounds 7 ounces. That is a gain of 13 ounces in one week. Caden continues to have periods where he can go days without any reflux. He can also have days where he will reflux several times in a 24 hour […]

Caden is doing pretty well. He has had a significant amount of reflux over the past couple of days. This is not so different from other times except that Caden went 3 days without any reflux at all! We’ve never seen the reflux disappear for so long and at a time when we were increasing […]

Caden was admitted to the PCICU at MUSC this afternoon. Caden is stable but still at risk for going on a respirator. He is in the ICU getting oxygen and IV fluids. He is being monitored closely for respiratory rate, difficulty breathing, and oxygen saturation of the blood. He was looking okay enough when we […]

We wanted to let you know that Caden needs your prayers. He has some pretty nasty symptoms of something – a persistent hacking cough causing heaving/gagging and massive amounts of snot that heÂ’s pretty good at blowing out his nose on his own. The Dr. heard wheezing today. He was given a breathing treatment and […]
