We have another praise report tonight. Caden had his chest closed today. We have just called his nurse one more time before we go to bed. She reports that he continues to do good as he has done all afternoon and into the evening. The doctors completed the procedure to close Caden’s chest this afternoon. Caden still has two drain lines and several sensors running from his chest. These will remain in for a while. He is still on the breathing machine and is fairly sedated.

Caden’s little neighbor had a much better day today. We talked to her parents again. We plan to have dinner with them one evening during the shift change while none of us can visit our children.
