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 really his only problem right now. He is still getting formula through his feeding tube. He continues to sustain his strength without IV lines.

Sherry and I are doing pretty good. We are tired, but our spirits are high. Caden and Riley are both doing great. Riley talks about Caden regularly now. I believe Riley’s visits to see Caden have been very helpful for him to understand what is going on. Riley has been able to visit with Caden every weekend since Caden was born.

I added two more pictures to the “Week 5 PICs” page. Sherry took them earlier this evening. You can see for yourself how good Caden looks.

We are so grateful for your love and support. Keep praying for my Christmas wish to get Caden home.
