What a wonderful Father’s Day present to have my little boy Caden get to come home from the hospital. Praise God for the small miracles. This picture was taken in our living room this afternoon. He is playing with a stuffed animal that our friend Angela brought to the hospital for Caden while he was in surgery on Thursday.
Caden was discharged barely 24 hours after leaving the PCICU. We got moved to a room on 7C yesterday and found ourselves almost immediately asking, “what are they doing for him here that we can’t do at home?” It was a valid question that led to a discharge. Praise God!!!
Please continue to pray for Caden’s rapid and complete recovery. We are praying that Caden will be comfortable and that both of his eyes will stand wide open. There is no value in stating the obvious and there are no known medical treatments according to the doctors. Medical studies show that symtoms often get better with time. I do not plan to give any other great details about this prayer request for Caden’s eye as I believe we should speak life over things in Jesus’ name. You can click on the picture below to see what Caden’s eye looked like yesterday.
This picture on the right is of Caden and Riley while in 7C just after moving out of the PCICU. My mom brought Riley down to see Caden and it made Caden’s day. He got the biggest smile when Riley came up to his bedside. Riley has been so compassionate towards Caden. I can not even begin to put into words the joy that I felt seeing how Riley treated Caden this weekend.
I am a blessed Father. I am honored and humbled to have been given such an awesome responsibility. I pray that these boys will see their Father in heaven though my my life. This has truly been a great day and I give God all the glory for the joy that I felt when reading the card that Riley and Caden gave to me today.
