Caden’s Page

Caden is doing good at home. Caden is having fun at home as you can see from the picture above. Riley finally got to hold Caden today for the first time since we brought Caden home. Riley had been sick and was not able to get near Caden for almost a week. I posted a […]

Caden is doing great at home. It has been almost a week now since Caden came home. He is eating good through his G-tube and gaining weight. He went to his pediatrician this week and weighed in at 7lb 2oz at 22 inches long. Caden also had follow up visits with his cardiologist and general […]

I believe the new pictures above tell the story pretty well. Yes, Caden is sleeping in his own room at home tonight for the first time. We arrived home at approximately 6:00 PM New Years Day. Caden is doing really good. He seems comfortable and happy at home. Riley has been sick for the past […]

Caden had a good day today. I only say that it was a “good” day because he did have to get an IV line so that he could receive a blood transfusion. I want to share some really exciting news before I get into the details of the blood transfusion. Caden may get to transfer […]

Caden had another great day. This may have been one of his best days yet. He is now being given some medicine to help dry up his secretions. He continues to cough and gather stuff from his lungs in the back of his throat. This causes him to gag a little at times. This is […]

Caden is still doing great. Sherry and I spent a good bit of time with Caden this afternoon and I went back down after dinner this evening. We both got to hold him for what added up to be hours between the two of us. Caden fell asleep on my shoulder today just like Riley […]
